British Bohemia. The Bloomsbury Circle of Virginia Woolf
The controversial avant-garde Bloomsbury Group, at the heart of which were the writer Virginia Woolf and the painter Vanessa Bell, is today considered the most pivotal, most famous and most valuable development in 20th-century British culture. Active from 1905 until the outbreak of World War II, the work and lives of these writers, painters, musicians, journalists and art critics exerted vast influence on modern British and world art and literature.This is the first opportunity for the Polish public to gain unrivalled insight into the turbulent history of the Bloomsbury Group, its members, and their masterpieces.
On display at the ICC Gallery will be the best paintings, woodcuts and lithographs of such well-known artists as Vanessa Bell (sister of Virginia Woolf), Duncan Grant, Roger Fry and Dora Carrington, as well as ceramics, furniture and crafts.
