About
Transgressive and trailblazing, Vanessa Bell was pivotal in the story of British art, defying the boundaries placed on women to become one of the 20th century's most innovative artists. Overlooked by traditional art history, her work has often been overshadowed by other members of the Bloomsbury group.
However, recent exhibitions highlight her radical influence, from challenging stereotypes to championing equality for women. Her vibrant still lives and introspective portraits show an artist blazing with intensity and breaking from convention.
Join art historians Wendy Hitchmough and Katy Hessel as they explore Bell's life and legacy as one of the 20th century's greatest artists.
