Vaness Bell - Charleston book


The idea of these 3 paintings bellow came from a book I had of Vanessa Bell's house called  Charleston. Vanessa  Bell was an English artist and  member of the Bloomsbury Group. The Bloomsbury Group was a influential group of English intellectuals, writers, philosophers and artists. She was also sister of Virginia Woolf that was a writer and member  of this same group. They were called Bloomsbury Group because they lived, study or worked around Bloomsbury in London in the first half of 20 century.

I  always have  been fond of Virginia Woolf since my early 20s when I went to see a famous play of hers called "Who is Afraid Of Virginia Wolf " in my beloved country Brazil. But just recently I got to know about her sister Vanessa Bell when I went last year for a talk about the Bloomsbury Group.

These paintings were inspired by some rooms in her house but will be difficult to identify some of them as I got only the idea from them and add my own view of it and made it my own.









  


A idéia destas 4 pinturas abaixo veio de um livro que eu tinha da casa de Vanessa Bell  chamada Charleston. Vanessa Bell foi uma artista plastica Inglesa e membro do Grupo de Bloomsbury. O Grupo de Bloomsbury foi um influente grupo Inglês  de intelectuais, escritores, filósofos e artistas. Ela também era irmã de Virginia Wolf, que era  escritora e membro deste mesmo grupo. Eles foram chamados Bloomsbury grupo porque eles viveram, estudaram ou trabalharam neste bairro Bloomsbury em Londres, na primeira metade do século 20.

Eu sempre gostei de Virginia Wolf desde quando tinha 20 anos e fui assistir a uma peca de teatro famosa dela chamada "Quem tem medo de Virginia Wolf" em meu amado país Brasil. Mas apenas recentemente eu ouvi falar sobre sua irmã Vanessa Bell quando eu fui no ano passado participar de uma conversa sobre o Grupo de Bloomsbury.

Estas pinturas foram inspirados por alguns quartos na casa de Vanessa Bell, mas vai ser difícil identificar alguns deles, pois eu tirei apenas a idéia deles e adicionar minha própria visão.
