Description

The Bloomsbury Look by Wendy Hitchmough explores the distinctive aesthetic of the influential Bloomsbury Group. Through an intimate and novel examination of their visual narratives, the author delves into how the Group's members used art, dress, and family albums to test and explore radical ideas and identities in public and private. Drawing on unpublished photographs and archival material, Hitchmough charts the evolution of Omega dress and considers Bloomsbury's engagement with exhibitions as artists, models, curators, critics, and collectors. This extensive research sheds new light on the Group's pivotal role within twentieth-century modernism. By placing Vanessa Bell and Virginia Woolf at the centre of the collective's visual narratives, Hitchmough offers a fresh perspective on the Bloomsbury Group's enduring influence on art, design, and fashion.
