This volume is a biography of English artist Dora Carrington (1893-1932). She was known generally simply as "Carrington" and she is remembered in part for her association with members of the Bloomsbury Group, especially the writer Lytton Strachey. Carrington's paintings illustrated her life, and the houses she shared with Strachey. She was an autobiographical painter, choosing as her subjects the people and places around her and distilling her emotions about them into images of "limpid intensity . . . her landscapes especially express a heightened sense of place that seems to well up from the unconscious."
