Charleston was the home of artists Vanessa Bell and Duncan Grant. They moved here in 1916 and kept a lease until Duncan Grants's death in 1978; it became the country retreat for the collection of writers, artists and intellectuals known as Bloomsbury. The house was decorated by the artists over the decades they spent here; it embodies their belief that art and life should be inseparable. |

And I regard some of Vanessa Bell's paintings as very significant; there's one called 'The Tub' which is fascinating.
Duncan Grant's studio was a truly wonderful space, pity I couldn't take more photo's in there.
