Demeter and Persephone from 1928 is a good example of Colquhoun’s early work portraying female intimacy and sexuality. In this specific case she cleverly disguised the underlying theme with the help of the ancient Greek myth telling the story about Demeter and Persephone. Demeter was the ancient Greek goddess of the harvest. She was thus a very important goddess to ancient Greek people, who farmed a lot of their food. Demeter had a kind and beautiful daughter, called Persephone, whom she loved very much. Persephone, like her mum, loved nature. One day she was walking in a beautiful meadow and gathering flowers to take home when a huge hole opened up in the ground. Hades – the God of the Underworld – arrived through the hole and captured the lovely Persephone, whom he wanted to be his wife. Against a background of an ancient Greek myth, Colquhoun thus managed to paint a depiction of female same-sex intimacy where two women, wearing contemporary 1920s clothing and coiffures, are seen sensually embracing each other, oblivious to the rest of the world.
