Rarely seen paintings by Nina Hamnett, fringe member of the Bloomsbury Group, go on show at Charleston

Despite Nina Hamnett’s best efforts to buck convention, the story of this Queen of Bohemia fits the mould of many other Modernist women artists. She painted and had solo exhibitions, was celebrated by critics and collectors, then died and vanished. Hamnett was forgotten soon after her death in 1956, with most of her paintings hidden from public view in the homes of her patrons’ descendants.
Where her legacy veers from this trope of the woman artist is that she was immortalised by male peers such as Walter Sickert and Roger Fry, so that if you have heard of her at all, it is likely as a model. Or you may know her from her bestselling autobiographies, in which she described enlivening the parties of her Bloomsbury Group or Parisian friends.
