Product Description

Product Description

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 In this authorised biography, Frances Spalding draws upon a mass of unpublished documents to reveal Vanessa Bell's considerable achievements, in both her art and her increasingly unorthodox life.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


About the Author

Frances Spalding read art history at the University of Nottingham and lectured on the subject for ten years before becoming a freelance art historian and biographer. She is currently editor of the Charleston Magazine.

5.0 out of 5 stars Good biography of an important woman artist., 20 Aug 2000
By A Customer
Frances Spalding has done an excellent job on Vanessa Bell, a very important woman artist and far more than just the wife of Clive Bell as suggested in the Amazon description of the book. Spalding is also very honest about the aspects of the Bloomsbury set that make one boil with rage.
