Portrait

Toyah Wilcox on Lytton Strachey

Tuesday 15 August 2006 15:45-16:00 (Radio 4 FM)

To celebrate 150 years of the National Portrait Gallery, well-known people select a portrait from the gallery to comment on.

Toyah chooses Dora Carrington's intimate study of the writer Lytton Strachey - the man Dora adored and with whom she shared a menage a trois. Wilcox reveals how she is drawn to Carrington as a free spirit, despite Dora's reputation for promiscuity and enjoying a lesser talent than the others in the Bloomsbury Group.
