Vanessa Bell: Modern Living explores Bell's radical approach to art and life through her paintings, prints, and designs for interiors, textiles, book jackets, and more, bringing her work out of the shadow of her male contemporaries while celebrating her collaborative approach.
Illustrated by more than one hundred striking images drawn from the V&A's important collection of her work, this engaging overview also considers Bell’s unique, artisanal designs for the Omega Workshops, and for Charleston Farmhouse in Sussex, her family residence, foregrounding the home as a crucial site of modernity.
