Vanessa Bell by Frances Spalding

Vanessa Bell was a central figure within the Bloomsbury Groupand lent to it a stability and coherence it might otherwise havelacked. A talented artist, she held sway with her acuity, integrityand a sense of humour. Yet she remained inscrutable, glimpsesof her life only appearing through her sister, Virginia Woolf. In this authorised biography, Frances Spalding draws upon amass of unpublished documents to reveal Vanessa Bellâ€s considerableachievements, in both her art and her increasingly unorthodoxlife. A sympathetic account is given of her marriage toClive Bell, her affair with Roger Fry and the complex nature ofher lasting relationship with Duncan Grant. It is a fitting tributeto a woman of great paradox, wit and honesty.
