Dorothy Hepworth’s life and work has been overshadowed by her flamboyant life-long partner, Patricia Preece, who bizarrely married Stanley Spencer in 1937 but continued to live with Dorothy in a lesbian relationship. For many decades Dorothy has remained an enigmatic, shadowy, figure – her name only mentioned in passing as Patricia Preece’s ‘friend’ and thus her work as a painter has never received the attention it deserves. – This fully illustrated monograph is published to coincide with the major exhibition, Dorothy Hepworth<\/a> and Patricia Preece: An Untold Story, at Charleston Lewes and tells the extraordinary story in detail for the first time.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
