Those photos by Ott can actually be seen on the NPG website, I believe. I was surprised by Mark Gertler’s painting of Koteliansky (‘Kot’): quite irrationally I had always imagined Kot as an ascetic and tiny man, but in this portrait he looks like a big burly businessman! There are some real rarities in the show—the bound volumes of letters that Violet Dickinson returned to VW late in life; I had not ever known Violet annotated these (of course, under glass one can only see a page, but the prospect is tantalizing); also the actual Gestapo list on which L & VW’s names appear. And yes, the catalog is very rich and interesting. I am in London doing research for a biography of Clive Bell, so was lucky to be able to see this wonderful exhibition.<o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal><b><span style='font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Tahoma","sans-serif"'>From:</span></b><span style='font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Tahoma","sans-serif"'> vwoolf-bounces@lists.service.ohio-state.edu [mailto:vwoolf-bounces@lists.service.ohio-state.edu] <b>On Behalf Of </b>Andrea<br><b>Sent:</b> Monday, August 04, 2014 8:18 PM<br><b>Cc:</b> VWOOLF listserv<br><b>Subject:</b> Re: [Vwoolf] Review of the National Portrait Gallery exhibit in Apollo magazine<o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p><div><div><p class=MsoNormal style='margin-bottom:12.0pt'>Diana, I was lucky enough to have my trip to London coincide with the exhibit. I wish it had not been so crowded, as it was hard to pace myself, but I was so glad to get the chance! The book that Spalding has compiled for the exhibit would be worth the while, I think, and is likely available online through the NPG. It's very well curated, with some rare pieces, including candid shots from Ottoline Morrell's photo album. I think the impromptu snaps of Virginia are often so much more interesting than those she posed for. <o:p></o:p></p></div><p class=MsoNormal>--Andrea Adolph<o:p></o:p></p></div><div><p class=MsoNormal style='margin-bottom:12.0pt'><o:p> </o:p></p><div><p class=MsoNormal>On Mon, Aug 4, 2014 at 2:52 PM, Diana Swanson <<a href="mailto:dswanson@niu.edu" target="_blank">dswanson@niu.edu</a>> wrote:<o:p></o:p></p><div style='margin-left:3.0pt;margin-top:3.0pt;margin-right:3.0pt;margin-bottom:.75pt;WORD-WRAP:break-word'><div><p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Segoe UI","sans-serif";color:black'>Thanks, Vara.
