The Art and Scandalous Lives of the Bloomsbury Group - A talk

This page is for in-person tickets for this event - please see our separate page for online tickets.

This lecture looks at the art of the three main ‘Bloomsbury’ artists (Duncan Grant, Vanessa Bell and Roger Fry) work and reviews the multi-faceted relationships between them and several others. In addition, it covers what many consider the most important contribution of the group to the visual arts in Britain, the so-called ‘Art-quake of 1910’, when Roger Fry, assisted by Vanessa’s husband, the art critic and writer, Clive Bell, mounted the Manet and the Post-Impressionists exhibition at the Grafton Galleries in London.

This event will be delivered both in-person and online. To book an online ticket,
