Georgiana Houghton (1814–1884) war eine britische Künstlerin und ein spirituelles Medium.[1]
Houghton wurde in Las Palmas de Gran Canaria geboren und zog später nach London. 1859 begann sie in privaten Séancen 'spirituelle' Zeichnungen mit Aquarellfarben zu erstellen. Diese abstrakten Bilder stellte sie 1871 in der New British Gallery in der Londoner Bond Street zum ersten Mal in der Öffentlichkeit aus.[2]
Gemeinsam mit dem umstrittenen Geisterfotografen Frederick Hudson, enstanden Fotografien, mit dessen Abzügen Houghton sich etwas Geld verdiente.[3][4]
1882 veröffentlichte Houghton Chronicles of the Photographs of Spiritual Beings and Phenomena Invisible to the Material Eye. Das Buch enthielt angebliche Geisterfotos, die Hudson und andere Fotografen in Séancen mit Medien wie Agnes Guppy-Volckman, Stainton Moses und den Spiritisten Alfred Russel Wallace und William Howitt erstellt hatten.[5] Der Historiker Albert A. Hopkins zweifelte die Echtheit dieser Aufnahmen an und legte dar, mit welchen einfachen Methoden gefälschte Geisterfotografien angefertigt wurden.[6]
Austellungen
Im April 2015 zeigte das Monash University Museum of Art die Ausstellung "Believe not every spirit, but try the spirits" in der 25 von Houghtons abstrakten Aquarellen aus der Victorian Spiritualist Union collection präsentiert wurden. Unter dem Titel "Spirit Drawings" organisierte das Courtauld Institute of Art im Juni 2016 eine Einzelausstellung mit zahlreichen überlieferten Werken der Künstlerin. In der Ausstellung "Weltempfänger", die von November bis März 2018 im Kunstbau zu sehen war, präsentierte das Münchner Lenbachaus Georgiana Houghton gemeinsam mit den Künstlerinnen Hilma af Klint und Emma Kunz. "Alle drei wollten in ihren Arbeiten Naturgesetze, Geistiges und Übersinnliches sichtbar machen; mit Ausdauer und Durchsetzungsvermögen folgten sie ihren Überzeugungen."[7]

Georgiana Houghton (1814–1884) was a British artist and spiritualist medium.[1]
Houghton was born in Las Palmas de Gran Canaria but later moved to London. She began producing 'spirit' drawings in 1859 at private séances. She produced her watercolour drawings to the public at an exhibition at the New British Gallery in Bond Street, London in 1871.[2]
Houghton became associated with the fraudulent spirit photographer Frederick Hudson to sell reproductions of his photographs.[3][4]
In 1882, Houghton published Chronicles of the Photographs of Spiritual Beings and Phenomena Invisible to the Material Eye. The book included alleged spirit photographs from Hudson and other photographers featuring mediums such as Agnes Guppy-Volckman, Stainton Moses and spiritualists Alfred Russel Wallace and William Howitt.[5] The photographs in the book were criticized by magic historian Albert A. Hopkins. He noted how the photographs looked dubious and could easily be produced by fraudulent methods.[6]
In April 2015 Monash University Museum of Art staged the exhibition "Believe not every spirit, but try the spirits" that featured 25 of Houghton’s abstract watercolours from the Victorian Spiritualist Union collection. In June 2016 a solo exhibition entitled "Spirit Drawings" was organised by the Courtauld Institute of Art, featuring a number of Houghton's surviving artworks.[7]
