EXHIBITIONS VANESSA BELL (1879-1961) Vanessa Bell 1879–1961, Self–Portrait, ca. 1915, Yale Center for British Art, Paul Mellon Fund. © The Estate of Vanessa Bell, courtesy of Henrietta Garnett 8 February - 4 June 2017 Widely acclaimed as a central figure of the Bloomsbury Group, the modernist painter, Vanessa Bell (1879- 1961) was a pivotal player in 20th century British art, inventing a new language of visual expression. Sister of Virginia Woolf, muse to fellow artists such as Roger Fry and mastermind of the idyllic Bloomsbury life at Charleston – Bell’s reputation as an artist has long been overshadowed by her family life and romantic entanglements. A radical innovator in the use of abstraction, colour and form, Bell will be presented for fresh consideration in the first major exhibition of her work. Approximately 100 paintings as well as fabrics and photographs will be arranged thematically to reveal Bell’s pioneering work in the genres of portraiture, still life and landscape, focusing on her most distinctive period of experimentation in the 1910s. Generously supported by the Vanessa Bell Syndicate RELATED EVENTS Exhibition Curator’s Lecture Thursday 9 February 12.30 – 1.30pm £12, £10 Friends SPECIAL EVENT Exhibition Late: Woolf Works 9 February 6.30pm-9.30pm £20 Adults, £15 Students/ Concessions Join us for a special evening during the opening week of Vanessa Bell.
