Friends Curatorial View: Bloomsbury Art and Design

This event has passed.

The Courtauld Gallery, Somerset House, Strand, London

Wed 24 Feb, 2021

The Courtauld holds one of the most extensive collections of paintings, design drawings, ceramics and furniture by artists from the Bloomsbury Group. Led by Roger Fry, Duncan Grant and Vanessa Bell, these artists brought a new radical language of art to Edwardian Britain. Producing paintings and decorative arts, the group created a range of works for the domestic interior featuring bold colours and dynamic abstract designs.

Bloomsbury Art and Design brings together highlights from this unparalleled collection to look at the movement that shaped early twentieth-century modernism in Britain.

Private view and curatorial tour by Dr Barnaby Wright, Daniel Katz curator 20th century Paintings Courtauld Gallery.
