Notes:
This catalogue showcases Vanessa Bell and Duncan Grant's home at Charleston Farmhouse, and the work the artists produced between the two world wars. Beginning with radical modern works influenced by European trends - from painted furniture to depictions of food preparation in the kitchen, from the barns to the pond, the people to the household cat - it tells a story of over thirty years of artistic productivity and the Bloomsbury group.
