Euphemia Lamb was painted and sculpted by many renowned artists during the period before the First World War, such as Augustus John, Henry Lamb, Ambrose McEvoy, Jacob Epstein and James Dickson Innes. She was at the vanguard of modern British art. She was also a literary muse for many leading writers of the period, including Virginia Woolf, Henri-Pierre Roche and Aleister Crowley.
Euphemia was the embodiment of the modern woman: sexually liberated, hard-working and ambitious. She used her connections in bohemian London and Paris to educate herself and advance the notion of what a woman could be in early twentieth-century British society. Euphemia was a pioneer who broke down barriers and her legacy survives in art and literature.
Andrea Obholzer is currently studying for a MA in History of Art at the Courtauld Institute, having previously studied at the universities of Oxford and Cambridge. She worked for twenty-five years as a child psychotherapist in the NHS. She is married with three adult sons and lives in London.
