The Art of Bloomsbury by Richard Shone
This catalogue provides a new look at the visual side of the Bloomsbury Group, which played a prominent role in the development of modernist painting in Britain. The work of Vanessa Bell, Duncan Grant, Roger Fry and their colleagues was often audacious and experimental. Entries on 200 hundred works bring out the chief characteristics of their painting - domestic, contemplative, sensuous, and essentially pacific. Portraits of family and friends - from Virginia Woolf and Maynard Keynes to Aldous Huxley and Edith Sitwell - highlight the cultural and social entity of the group. Essays by scholars provide further intriguing insights into the work of the artists, and the changing critical reaction to it.
Shone, Richard: - Richard Shone has been Editor of the Burlington Magazine since 2003 and is the author of several books on nineteenth- and twentieth-century art.
