Bloomsbury Group | Art History and Sitemap

Bloomsbury is the name commonly used to identify a circle of intellectuals and artists who lived in Bloomsbury, near central London, in the period 1904-1940.

In 1905, a group of writers and intellectuals began to meet at the London home of the artist Vanessa Bell and her writer sister Virginia Woolf to share ideas and support each other’s creative activities… their meetings continued for the next three decades.

They were in revolt against everything Victorian and played a key role in introducing many modern ideas into Britain.
