Mary Evelyn De Morgan

Mary Evelyn De Morgan is an artist. 1 work is cataloged here, principally at Victoria and Albert Museum.

Mary Evelyn De Morgan spent her days sketching in a cluttered London studio that smelled of turpentine and stale tea. She drew figures tangled in dreamlike scenes, their bodies stretched and twisted like melted wax. Look up *The Undiscovered Country*—a woman with a lantern floats above a sleeping crowd, her flame casting long shadows. De Morgan belongs in Gallery Tiles because her drawings feel like private myths, ones you almost recognize but can’t quite place.
