This lecture looks at the art of the three main ‘Bloomsbury’ artists (Duncan Grant, Vanessa Bell and Roger Fry) work and reviews the multi-faceted relationships between them and several others. In addition, it covers what many consider the most important contribution of the group to the visual arts in Britain, the so-called ‘Art-quake of 1910’, when Roger Fry, assisted by Vanessa’s husband, the art critic and writer, Clive Bell, mounted the Manet and the Post-Impressionists exhibition at the Grafton Galleries in London.
