Description
Vanessa Bell was a central figure within the Bloomsbury Group and lent to it a stability and coherence it might otherwise have lacked. A talented artist, she held sway with her acuity, integrity and a sense of humour. This biography draws upon documents to reveal Vanessa Bell's achievements, in both her art and her increasingly unorthodox life.
