Dora de Houghton Carrington (29 March 1893 – 11 March 1932), known generally as Carrington, was a British painter and decorative artist, remembered in part for her association with members of the Bloomsbury Group, especially the writer Lytton Strachey. An accomplished painter of both portraits and landscape, she also worked in applied and decorative arts, painting on any type of surface she had at hand including inn signs, tiles and furniture. She also decorated pottery. Carrington designed the library at Ham Spray. In 1970 David Garnett published a selection of letters and extracts from her diary, since which time critical and popular appreciation of her work has risen sharply. In 1978, Sir John Rothenstein, for nearly 30 years Director of the Tate Gallery, London, called Dora Carrington the most neglected serious painter of her time. That is no longer the case. In 1995, she was the subject of a major retrospective exhibition at the Barbican Art Gallery in London. Two of her works are in the Tate Gallery London. Carrington's life with Strachey was dramatized in the 1995 film Carrington, starring Emma Thompson in the title role.
