Bell, Vanessa
(redirected from Vanessa Bell)

Bell, Vanessa (1879–1961)

English painter and designer. She was one of the first English artists to paint abstracts, but most of her work was in a post-Impressionist style. She was the sister of Virginia Woolf and wife of the art critic Clive Bell, and like them she was a leading figure of the Bloomsbury Group.

From 1916 she lived with Scottish painter Duncan Grant, and their home at Charleston, Sussex practically became a Bloomsbury memorial.
