Hardcover. Zustand: New Book. First Edition. 24.5cm x 17cm. 254 pages, colour illustrations. Purple cloth, gilt lettering, illustrated onlay. "Straddling the worlds of Surrealism, occultism and modernist literature, Ithell Colquhoun was widely respected in her lifetime, but her transgressive, esoteric and poetic paintings and writings were long neglected until recent years. This volume is the first critical examination of her diverse legacy, compiling papers from a 2018 conference on Colquhoun and her contemporaries Leonora Carrington, Leonor Fini and Stella Snead. Colquhoun occupies a unique place within the lineage of occult Surrealist painters such as Leonora Carrington and Remedios Varo, as her presence in the 2022 Venice Biennale exhibition Milk of Dreams demonstrated.Contributors explore themes of authorship and agency, ColquhounÂ's drawing practice, her Celtic motifs, British Surrealism and alchemy."

First US edition, first printing, of the first definitive history of the Hermetic Order of the Golden Dawn and its founder Samuel Liddell MacGregor Mathers. Colquhoun was a celebrated artist and occultist who was expelled from the English Surrealist Group for refusing to abandon her occult research. A voracious scholar, the Golden Dawn was a long-standing focus of her research. Colquhoun (1906-1988) is now "recognized as one of the most interesting and prolific esoteric thinkers and artists of the twentieth century" (Hale). Her artistry and occultism were intertwined throughout her life: while studying at the Slade School of Fine Art in London, she joined the Quest Society, which fostered an freethought approach to the study of religion, philosophy, and science. As she evolved as an artist, her fascination with the unconscious saw her draw on a dizzying array of esoteric traditions. "Colquhoun was at once an artist and a magician, a mystical Christian, a scholar, and practitioner of the occult with a deep knowledge of both Eastern and Western religions. She immersed herself in Druidry, goddess worship, freemasonry, tarot, Theosophy, and the Kabbalah, and argued that all matter must bear a trace of the creator and so must be considered living" (Higgie, p 175).
