Contemporary British artist Kaye Donachie (b.1970) is best known
for her figurative, dream-like portraits of women. Her portraits
are not direct representations of her subjects but are “abstract
narratives”, informed by art and literature by twentieth century
women. Often these women have been historically marginalized and
include radical writers, activists, poets, and artists. Donachie
describes their biographies as “sparse, but that affords a space
in which to interpret narratives in my painting and
representation.” This monograph will bring together a selection
of the artist's muted, figurative paintings, exploring the
complexities of the muse and female agency in art and literature.
It includes an introduction by Simon Martin based on interviews
with the artist exploring her engagement with modern art and
literature, together with short texts by the artist herself.
