Description
Charleston Farmhouse is a unique and fascinating example of Bloomsbury decorative style, created by the painters Vanessa Bell and Duncan Grant. This book tells the story of the house and its garden, and the cultural figures who were invited there, including Virginia Woolf, Lytton Strachey, Maynard Keynes, and Roger Fry.
Through the eyes of Quentin Bell, the younger son of Vanessa Bell, and his daughter Virginia Nicholson, the house and its inhabitants come alive. The book is accompanied by atmospheric photographs by Alen MacWeeney, and pictures from Vanessa Bell's family album, which convey the flavour of the household in its heyday.
This book is a worthwhile read for anyone interested in the art, culture, and history of the Bloomsbury Group, and the unique house that was their home.
