Vanessa Bell
The Courtauld, London, to 6 October
The Bloomsbury artist, sister of Virginia Woolf, gets an intimate focus amid the art that inspired
her. Bell and friends were among the first people in Britain to appreciate the vision of Cézanne, in
whose paintings the Courtauld specialises. Her portraits and still lifes are sensitive responses
to French modernism.
