Early Life and Artistic Beginnings

Born: February 14, 1890, in Tenby, Pembrokeshire, Wales
Parents: George Edward Hamnett (an army officer) and Mary Elizabeth De Blois.
Early education at a private boarding school in Westgate-on-Sea and later at the Royal School for Daughters of Officers of the Army in Bath, Somerset (1902-1905).
Studied at the Pelham Art School (1906-1907) and the London School of Art (until 1910), developing skills in portraiture and landscape painting.
Moved to Montparnasse, Paris, in 1914 to study at Marie Vassilieff's Academy, immersing herself in the burgeoning avant-garde art scene.

Bohemian Life and Artistic Associations

Became a central figure in the Parisian bohemian community, known for her unconventional lifestyle and flamboyant personality.
Close associations with prominent artists including Henri Gaudier-Brzeska (who sculpted nude bronzes of her), Amedeo Modigliani (with whom she had a love affair), Pablo Picasso, Serge Diaghilev, and Jean Cocteau.
Lived briefly at La Ruche, a residence for many leading avant-garde artists.
Married Norwegian artist Edgar de Bergen (later Roald Kristian) in 1914; the marriage lasted three years before his deportation.
Worked at the Omega Workshops in London (directed by Roger Fry, Vanessa Bell, and Duncan Grant), creating fabrics, clothes, murals, furniture, and rugs.

Artistic Style and Influences

Her artistic style is characterized by psychological portraits and understated still lifes.
Influenced by Walter Sickert, who provided guidance on her painting technique, though she often resisted formal instruction.
Sickert used her as a model and painted her with her husband in "The Little Tea Party: Nina Hamnett and Roald Kristian."
Her work reflects the modernist movement's focus on capturing inner character and everyday life.

Literary Achievements and Later Years

Published Laughing Torso (1932), a bestselling autobiographical account of her bohemian experiences, which caused controversy due to allegations of black magic involving Aleister Crowley.
Successfully defended against Crowley's libel suit but was deeply affected by the ordeal.
Continued to live in London’s artistic hub, Fitzrovia, frequenting the Fitzroy Tavern and associating with Augustus John and Dylan Thomas.
Published a sequel, Is She a Lady? (1955).

Death and Legacy

Died on December 16, 1956, under tragic circumstances – falling from her apartment window and being impaled on the fence below. The cause of death remains debated as either suicide or accidental drunken fall.
Her life was documented in Denise Hooker's biography, Nina Hamnett: Queen of Bohemia (1986).
Featured in a short film, "What Shall We Do with the Drunken Sailor" (2011), starring Siobhan Fahey.
Hamnett’s legacy rests on her vibrant personality and her unique contribution to early 20th-century art, capturing the spirit of bohemian life through both her paintings and writings.
