Farm at Watendlath
1921
Landscape
Oil on Canvas
Collection of the Tate, United Kingdom
Carrington’s subjects were mostly intimate portraits and landscapes during the late 1910s. ”Farm at Watendlath” depicts Watendlath Farm, near Keswick in the Lake District, England, where she and her husband had spent a holiday with their friends in 1921. Especially poignant and meaningful to Carrington as it was whilst on this trip she met the writer Gerald Brenan who became one of her lovers. Typical of Carrington’s landscape paintings the image of the small farm creates a sense of intimacy and pleasant escapism.
