EDITORS COMMENTS
This black and white portrait captures the enigmatic and modernist English writer, Olive Moore, born Constance Edith Vaughan, in the early 1930s. Known for her provocative and intellectually stimulating works, Moore gained prominence in the literary world with her three acclaimed novels: Celestial Seraglio (1929), Spleen (1930), and Fugue (1932). Her novels, which explored themes of identity, desire, and the human condition, were praised for their innovative style and psychological depth. In addition to her novelistic accomplishments, Moore's essay collection, The Apple Is Bitten Again (1934), showcased her biting wit and incisive commentary on society and culture. The collection, much like her novels, challenged conventional norms and left a lasting impact on the literary landscape of the 1930s. Born in 1904, Moore's writing career began in the 1920s and continued until the 1960s. Despite her significant contributions to modernist literature, she remained a relatively obscure figure, shrouded in mystery. This portrait, with its stark contrasts and intense gaze, offers a glimpse into the complex and intriguing personality of this groundbreaking author. As you gaze upon this image of Olive Moore, you can't help but be drawn into her world of introspection and intellectual curiosity. Her enduring legacy as a modernist novelist and essayist continues to inspire and captivate readers to this day.
