This Dark Country: Women Artists, Still Life and Intimacy in the Early Twentieth Century
For women artists in the early twentieth century, such as Ethel Sands, Nina Hamnett, Vanessa Bell and Gwen John, still life was a conduit for their lives, their rebellions, their quiet loves for men and women. But for every artist we remember, there is another for whom art was replaced by being a mother or wife, whose remaining work lies in archives or attics. This bold and original blend of group biography and art criticism conducts a dazzling investigation into the structures of intimacy that make – and dismantle – our worlds.
