(I'm surprised anyone has spelled her name correctly, ever.)<BR/><BR/>Peter Owen can be partially credited/blamed for shaping the mindset which led to the creation of this blog.<BR/><BR/>Craig Brownlie just sent three paragraphs about Colquhoun which I'll be adding to the main post today (probably deleting the quotes from his first emails).Willhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05799869059793681283noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2402275990823741920.post-62079573712137446942008-12-15T04:58:00.000-05:002008-12-15T04:58:00.000-05:00The Guardian's passing reference to Mervyn Peake c...The <I>Guardian</I>'s passing reference to Mervyn Peake caught my eye: by a strange coincidence, Peake did a brush portrait of Ithell Colquhoun in 1939. It was reproduced (with her name mis-spelled as "Ethill") in volume 4, issue iv, of <I>Peake Studies</I> for Spring 1996 (and copies are still available; see the <I>Peake Studies</I> website, linked to my signature).<BR/>Another coincidence is that (as well as publishing Anna Kavan) Peter Owen is Peake's main publisher and has just brought out <I>Mervyn Peake: the man and his art</I> in paperback.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
