LIVING IN SQUARES LOVING IN TRIANGLES (VIRGINIA WOOLF/BLOOMS

Sisters Vanessa Bell and Virginia Woolf have long been celebrated for their central roles in the development of modernism in art and literature. Vanessa's experimental work places her at the vanguard of early twentieth-century art, as does her role in helping introduce many key names - Cezanne, Matisse, Picasso - to an unsuspecting public in 1910. Virginia took these artistic innovations and applied them to literature, pushing the boundaries of form, narrative and language to find a voice uniquely her own. Yet their private lives were just as experimental and this book explores the brave, passionate and innovative lives these remarkable women lived, and discovers where their strength and talent came from.
