テート・ギャラリーさんのインスタグラム写真 - (テート・ギャラリーInstagram)「💖💜💙⁣ Today is #BiVisibilityDay -- a day to celebrate bisexual people and raise awareness of discrimination faced by bisexuals worldwide. This post is a personal reflection on artist Dora Carrington, written by Lindsay O’Leary, Tate’s Head of Digital and member of the gallery's LGBTQIA+ Network. 'Dora Carrington defied early 20th century conventions. Known as ‘Dumpty’ or ‘Carrington’ while attending The Slade School of Art in London, the latter name stuck for the rest of her career. She wore her hair short before it was in fashion, and in her life was in love with a man who loved men, was married to another man and loved several women. Carrington drew and painted unclothed life models when many considered this inappropriate for women to do. In photos, she appears neither feminine or masculine. Typical historical accounts state that Carrington was in ‘turmoil of her sexuality’, displayed ‘a sense of intimidation by her own womanhood’ and had been ‘troubled by her sexuality’. We must also consider that none of these are true, and that she knew exactly who she was and what she wanted. Being bisexual does not automatically imply indecisiveness or unrest; it simply means someone is attracted to more than one gender. Carrington wrote to her partner Lytton Strachey that Henrietta Bingham ‘made such wonderful cocktails that I became completely drunk and almost made love to her in public’. This is hardly a tormented thought, but rather completely and wonderfully human.' - Lindsay O'Leary @oooooleary Dora Carrington, Farm at Watendlath 1921, Tate collection.
