NINA HAMNETT (EIDERDOWN BOOKS) (HB)

Nina Hamnett (1890-1956) was an artist, illustrator and writer associated with bohemian and avant-garde circles in London and Paris. She was an artist’s model, created designs for the Bloomsbury Group’s Omega Workshops, and published two autobiographies. But it was her sensitive and formal still life paintings, her striking and often acerbic drawings, and her perceptive portraits of poets, dancers and friends which crowned her achievements as an artist. Illustrated with works from public and private collections.
