This is the cover of Rhythm & Colour, a book that I have been working on for almost a year and which finally went to print a few weeks ago. It’s a big book, 624 pages, written by art historian Richard Emerson and is the inaugral title to be published by Golden Hare, a new publisher based in Edinburgh, established by Mark Jones, formerly Director of the V&A Museum. The book is the first examination of the lives of three extraordinary women – Hélène Vanel, Loïs Hutton and Margaret Morris. With the use of recently rediscovered letters, journals and memoirs, as well as a number of previously unpublished photographs, Richard Emerson has uncovered the story of these three dancers of the avant-garde, spanning nine decades and following their journeys from the intellectual circles of London to Wales, Paris and the French Riviera. It has been a pleasure working on the book, learning about these fantastic women, and a delight to work with such a rich archive of wonderful images.
