About this talk

This major exhibition features the work of two of the most celebrated British artists of the twentieth century. Vanessa Bell and Duncan Grant: Inside Bloomsbury delves into the extraordinary relationship between the artists, while tracing their remarkable creative partnership that spanned more than 50 years. The exhibition features over 300 works, including vivid portraits, still lives, landscape paintings, decorative works on furniture, ceramics, textiles, and much more. A once-in-a-lifetime restaging of the artists' studio, relocated for the exhibition from their Sussex home, Charleston, is an unmissable highlight.
