Charleston: The Bloomsbury Muse

Both Philip Mould & Company and The Charleston Trust have recently opened exhibitions showcasing works by Vanessa Bell and Duncan Grant, which were (for the most part) created at Charleston House in East Sussex. The Charleston Trust have opened “Duncan Grant: 1920“ a recreation of Duncan Grant’s first solo exhibition 101 years on. The exhibition displays over 30 artworks by Duncan, some of which have not been seen for decades or in public before. The exhibition is Duncan’s first solo show since his death in 1978. Concurrently, Philip Mould & Company have opened their new exhibition “Charleston: The Bloomsbury Muse“, which presents works by Vanessa and Duncan from 1912-1950. The exhibition showcases a compendium of works, beginning with radically modern works influenced by European trends. Presenting Charleston as their muse, the exhibition explores thirty-five years of artistic productivity. . . .
