A unique body of work and a radical contribution to the magical conversations of the period, this exquisitely illustrated book provides an introduction to Ithell Colquhoun's enigmatic series of paintings, drawings and poems: Diagrams of Love.

Ithell Colquhoun (1906-1988) was a force of nature; a prolific artist, essayist, novelist, and poet whose overriding concerns were with spiritual transcendence and union with the divine energy that animated all matter. For her, surrealism provided a method and framework to explore not only the deepest reaches of her own mind, but also to connect with other beings and dimensions.

Exploring her blend of alchemical, Kabbalistic and for Tantric imagery and placed within the context of theories of sex magic extant in the occult subcultures of the early twentieth century, this beautiful little book of erotic art and poetry is one to treasure.
