Vanessa Bell

Vanessa Bell

• Used Book in Good Condition

<div>Vanessa Bell was a central figure within the Bloomsbury Group<BR>and lent to it a stability and coherence it might otherwise have<BR>lacked. A talented artist, she held sway with her acuity, integrity<BR>and a sense of humour. Yet she remained inscrutable, glimpses<BR>of her life only appearing through her sister, Virginia Woolf.</div><div> </div><div>In this authorised biography, Frances Spalding draws upon a<BR>mass of unpublished documents to reveal Vanessa Bell’s considerable<BR>achievements, in both her art and her increasingly unorthodox<BR>life. A sympathetic account is given of her marriage to<BR>Clive Bell, her affair with Roger Fry and the complex nature of<BR>her lasting relationship with Duncan Grant. It is a fitting tribute<BR>to a woman of great paradox, wit and honesty.</div><div></div>
