Ithell Colquhoun
Ithell Colquhoun was a British surrealist painter and occult writer, distinguished as the only significant biographer of S.L. MacGregor Mathers, a founding figure of the Hermetic Order of the Golden Dawn.
Known for her deeply idiosyncratic artistic and literary vision, she blended surrealism with esoteric philosophy, producing both visual art and written works that explored mysticism, folklore, and landscape.
Her painting La cathédrale engloutie is among her celebrated works.
Though somewhat overlooked during her lifetime, Colquhoun is experiencing a notable revival, with her books returning to print and attracting new generations of readers drawn to her unique fusion of art, mysticism, and psychogeography.
