Sketches In Pen And Ink: A Bloomsbury Notebook

3.9/5 ( ratings)

Vanessa Bell, artist, sister of Virginia Woolf, wife of Clive Bell and lover of Duncan Grant, is one of the most fascinating and modern figures of the Bloomsbury set, but unlike most of them she rarely put pen to writing paper.

From the twenties to the forties she lived and painted at Charleston Farmhouse like a heroine of the sixties and seventies, at the centre of a colourful world of family, friends, artists and intellectuals.

Edited by LIA GIACHERO, a young art historian who has worked with Angelica Garnett on this collection, and contributes a fascinating
