Bloomsbury Group

Edición de la obra Bloomsbury Group

"The Bloomsbury Group was a union of friends who transformed British culture with their innovative approach to art, design and society." "The Group began the twentieth century with a desire to rebel and challenge the religious, artistic, social and social taboos of Victorian England. Together they achieved a revolution in British style that resonates with contemporary painters, writers, actors, designers, fashion editors and publishers." "This book explores the impact of Bloomsbury personalities on each other, as well as how they shaped the development of British Modernism. Author Frances Spalking demonstrates how this network of artists, lovers and patrons recorded one another obsessively in both words and images. She presents nineteen fascinating biographies, all of which are illustrated with paintings and intimate photographs created by members of the Group. Included in her revealing account are: Virginia and Leonard Woold, Vanessa and Clive Bell, Duncan Grant, Lady Ottoline Morrell, Roger Fry, J.M. Keynes, Lytton Strachey and Dora Carrington."--Jacket.
