In 1939, Ithell Colquhoun imagined Bonsoir<\/em> as a Surrealist film. She constructed a storyboard using photographs cut from popular magazines, which remained unpublished until now. Employing Surrealist techniques, this collection of collages narrate a moment in time in which convention and ambiguity collide in the exploration of desire. You can see a series od images from the storeyboard<\/a> on Tate’s website.<\/p>\n British surrealist poet, painter, and occultist Ithell Colquhoun (1906\u20131988) was a prolific artist, mystic, essayist, novelist, and poet whose overriding concerns were with spiritual transcendence and union with the divine energy that animated all matter. Marlow Moss<\/a>,\u00a0Gluck<\/a>\u00a0and\u00a0Ithell Colquhoun<\/a> were living in Lamorna, a small village on the Cornish coast, in the far southwest of Britain. <\/p>\nAbout Ithell Colquhoun<\/h2>\n
