The Bloomsbury Look
The Bloomsbury Look
The Bloomsbury Group had a ‘look’ - of course they did; its one reason for their enduring appeal. But what is the look, and how did it come about, and how conscious was its development?
Wendy Hitchmough delves into these and other questions about the fascinating cast of characters who have become known as the Bloomsbury Group - Virginia Woolf, Vanessa Bell, Duncan Grant, Maynard Keynes, Lytton Strachey and other artists and authors.
From the role of photography to the fashion-forward look of the Omega workshops, Wendy explores how the group presented themselves to the world at large in this beautifully-designed, well-illustrated book. Long-time Bloomsbury fans will find fascinating new information, but even those with a casual interest find themselves captivated.
