	Dora Carrington Collection
		Dora de Houghton Carrington (1893-1932) was the fourth of five children born to Samuel Carrington and Charlotte Houghton.
		Partridge fell in love with Carrington and, accepting that she was still in love with Strachey and would not give up her platonic relationship or living arrangements with him, married her in 1921.
		In March Carrington was planning for a trip to France and her friends began to feel less concern, but she also borrowed a gun from a neighbor, ostensibly to shoot rabbits in her garden.

		Carrington tells the story of people who tried, in their own way, and at a time when society did not encourage such experiments, to acknowledge openly what most of us are aware of but still reluctant to discuss: that a great many differences exist between love and desire.
		Dora Carrington, though a painter of note, was most famous for her life-long, rather self-abasing devotion to Lytton Strachey, the writer of a number of essays and criticisms, who later published a witty expose of four "Eminent Victorians," which was subersive and significant, both literarily and financially.
		Carrington was his devoted and loving but non-sexual partner (she once described herself as his pen-wiper, there to serve him, asking nothing in return), and between them, at first through her selflessness, then through his own recognition of the rarity of this devotion, there grows a love deeper than most marriages.

	Carrington (1995)
		I felt bad for Carrington and liked her, while at the same time being a little scandalized by her many affairs (but that was her business I guess).
		Poor Carrington had to have multiple relationships so that she could obtain an adequate amount of love from the homosexual Strachey.
		Carrington had a close emotional and intellectual love for Strachey, but the author was more attracted to her lover, Ralph Partridge.

	Dora Carrington - a biographical note
		Dora Carrington (1893-1932) was an artist and a Bloomsbury bohemian who loved and was loved by both men and women.

		Carrington attempted suicide by shutting herself in the garage with the car running, but Partridge rescued her and she recovered enough to spend the last few days of Strachey's life taking her turn nursing him.

		Dora Carrington was an artist but that part of her life was minimized and only her sexual behavior was examined.
		Although she claims she is not interested in him sexually, it is at this time in Carrington's life, she is interested in a man's mind, not what is under his pants.
		Carrington is a fabulous narrative of Dora Carrington's life as it displays her life along with her strengths, which offers a good cinematic experience.

	Review: Carrington
		Though Dora, a heterosexual woman who didn't lose her virginity until she was in her twenties, and Strachey, an avowed homosexual, each had an assortment of male bed partners, they were intensely devoted to each other with a passion that was "all absorbing" and "self-abasing".
		Dora, on the other hand, remained a little-known talent during her lifetime, since she painted just for herself and Strachey, not to exhibit or sell.
		Carrington is divided into six chapters, most of are named after the men who float in and out of the title character's life.

		Carrington's decorative arts projects included fireplace tiles, bookplates, and inn signs such as that for the Black Swan (1917).
		While some people in her life criticized Carrington for spending too much time illustrating her correspondence, the illustrations were themselves an art form, as became apparent when her letters were published in 1970.

		Not educated formally in the British sense of the word, she nevertheless was able to attend a school of fine arts, where she developed her drawing and painting skills admirably.
		It was an odd, awkward meeting; Strachey, seeing Carrington from afar, thought she was a young man and was literally speechless when he was formally introduced to her.
		The new movie, Carrington, by the screenwriter of Dangerous Liaisons, is a sad portrait of the artist who could find no adequate meaning for her life other than loving men, principally Strachey, who could not love her with the same intensity.

	Carrington - Synopsis - Moviefone
		Dora is a young English artist who is part of the Bloomsbury Group, an assemblage of British writers, painters, and eccentrics that includes the likes of Virginia Woolf and E.M. Forster, when she meets Strachey.
		A confirmed homosexual before meeting Carrington, Strachey inquires who the "ravishing boy" is and discovers that it's a woman.
		Strachey (most famous for the groundbreaking book Eminent Victorians) and Dora eventually move in together and have a series of offbeat sexual experiences with other members of the group and sometimes even with the same man; at one juncture, Dora even marries another man. Yet their relationship endures until Strachey's death years later.

	Carrington Movie Review
		If you're like me, you're saying to yourself, "Who is this Dora Carrington, and why would someone make a movie about her?" Well, I still don't have the answer to that one.
		Carrington was something of a homebody who thrived on shocking Victorian sensibilities with her outrageous behavior, the bulk of which involved sexual promiscuity in some fashion or another.
		Together, Carrington and Lytton meander through 17 years of love and hate, happiness and anger, life and death.

	Carrington: A Life of Dora Carrington 1893-1932 - book review
		Dora Carrington was a painter, an early feminist, and a figure who flits in and out of the lives of several members of the Bloomsbury Group, of which she was a central part.
		Carrington shared his bed, and Strachey fell in love with him.
		It is commonly assumed that Carrington sacrificed her artistic possibilities to the effort of looking after Strachey and Partridge, but Gretchen Gerzina argues that on the contrary, she was at her most productive when her domestic and personal life were settled and untroubled by romantic entanglements.

	IMHO \| The Art of Dora Carrington
		My favourite thing about the art of Dora Carrington (1893-1932) is her great variety; from wonderful letter sketches, to bookplates for friends made from woodcuts (you know, those illustrated labels - "this book belongs to....").
		I was especially intrigued by Jane Hill's descriptions of the colours and patterns in the rooms that Carrington decorated, for her own home and as commissions.
		The author's depiction of Carrington's life proves the artist to be a non-conformist spirit who forged an unusual life for herself.

		Strachey died in 1932, and a distraught Carrington committed suicide.
		It wasn't possible to use Carrington's original paintings, so the filmmakers commissioned pastiche artist Jane Gifford to re-create Carrington's works, including one of Pryce as Strachey.

		Carrington won't give herself to any of the men in her life (including her husband)--at least not emotionally.
		After all, I felt it should be called 'Lytton' instead of 'Carrington.' This is probably because this film was based on Lytton's biography and not Carrington's.
		In fact, Carrington had many affairs according to an interview with Emma Thompson and some were with women but of course, there wasn't time to put all that on film.
