Inhaltsangabe

This catalogue is published to accompany an exhibition of the Bloomsbury painters and provides a new look at the visual side of the movement which is more generally known for its literary achievements. The artists of Bloomsbury, Roger Fry, Vanessa Bell and Duncan Grant, played a prominent role in the development of Modernist painting in Britain. Their work was often audacious and experimental, and had considerable influence on British art and design in the 20th century. Catalogue entries on 200 works bring out the chief characteristics of their painting - domestic, contemplative, sensuous, and essentially pacific. These qualities are seen in landscapes, portraits and still lifes set in London, Sussex and the South of France, but also inform their abstract painting and applied art which placed them at the forefront of the avant-garde before the First World War. Friendships and relationships beyond Bloomsbury are also discussed, so establishing the movement within a wider European context.
