The English artist Dora Carrington was part of the Bloomsbury circle. "This volume is a biography of English artist Dora Carrington (1893-1932). She was known generally simply as 'Carrington' and she is remembered in part for her association with members of the Bloomsbury Group, especially the writer Lytton Strachey. Carrington's paintings illustrated her life, and the houses she shared with Strachey. She was an autobiographical painter, choosing as her subjects the people and places around her and distilling her emotions about them into images of 'limpid intensity . . . her landscapes especially express a heightened sense of place that seems to well up from the unconscious.'" - Publisher.

Minor crease to books; The British Museum was founded in 1753 amidst an atmosphere of enthusiasm and optimism for collating knowledge about the past and objects from the past. Published to coincide with the BM's 250th anniversary, this book looks at the role of the museum as a `theatre of memory' and examines `how and why we commemorate, indeed how and why we remember'. Based purely on the collections of the BM, John Mack discusses and describes the mnemonic knotted handkerchiefs of the past - the portraits, medals, coins, memorials, religious relics, sourvenirs, inscriptions and memorabilia. This is a well-written and well-illustrated study of the different ways in which our ancestors have sought to mark and remember the past, through to the present-day penchant for capturing moments in time through photography. ; 9.8 X 7.3 X 0.4 inches; 160 pages ., British Museum Press, 2003, 3<

This thought-provoking book accompanies an exhibition which will draw together some of the Museum's most important objects in the context of its 250th anniversary. It addresses questions such as how, when and why people or events are commemorated, at the same time examining how the British Museum itself is celebrated and remembered.Institutions such as the BM, devoted to collections of cultural objects, provide extensive insight into the ways in which memory operates in a wide variety of different social and historical circumstances. Commemorative items of many sorts are their stock in trade, as illustrated widely here: painted or sculpted portraits, medals, coins and banknotes, sepulchres, reliquaries, inscriptions, souvenirs and memorabilia, photographs and archives, and diaries. Beyond its collection, the Museum itself has necessarily become a place of memory, from its architecture to the naming of its parts.This catalogue addresses fundamental questions concerning the linkage between the creation of objects and the creation of memory as an aspect of human culture in general. Ultimately, memory is tied up with the complex question of identity, personal identity and social or cultural identity. As the surrealist film-maker Luis Bunuel wrote: 'You have to begin to lose your memory, if only in bits and pieces, to realise that memory is what makes our lives. Life without memory is no life at all.' Media >, [PU: British Museum Publications]<
