Interpretations of Ithell Colquhoun at Tate Britain echo Tate Modern’s show on Hilma af Klint, two years ago, in foregrounding the artist’s mysticism above all other influences. In the early 1930s, Colquhoun painted three more works on biblical and Christian subjects: Death of the Virgin (1931), Aaron Meeting Moses (1932), and Song of Songs (1933). In Song of Songs, the muscular two figures reflect both the artist’s interest in androgyny, but also the post-First World War trend in British art for a “return to order”, with neo-classical figures and naturalism, replacing the turn-of-the-century interest in experimentation with form and abstraction.
