If you remember the Emma Thompson/Jonathan Pryce vehicle Carrington, you’ll probably recall that Dora Carrington, in addition to her significant othership with Lytton Strachey, was an accomplished artist, heraleded thirty years ago as “the most neglected serious painter of her time.” Several example of her artwork, including illustrated childhood notebooks, were handed down in Strachey’s family until they wound up with writer/editor Penelope Franklin (above), who is currently working on a biography of Carrington. Last week, I got to meet Franklin at the Davis & Langdale gallery on the Upper East Side, where those pieces form the bulk of an exhibition that runs through June 1. It’s worth having a look; the youthful drawings show a bit of thematic singularity—she spent a lot of time drawing children lined up in playful activities—but you can totally see where she was going, and the eventual addition of color to her work makes a world of difference. (Sorry if this sounds a bit incoherent; I recognize that I’m not really an art critic.)
