[Vwoolf] ‘The firm of Bell and Grant’ and the Famous Women Dinner Service

[Jane Marie Garrity]

Paula, thank you for this interesting post!

If any Woolfians have some free time and feel like to sharing a close reading today, I would love to know how you think the images on these dinner plates signal a "deliriously camp" (Kenneth Clark's language) aesthetic.

Also, does anyone have an image of the Woolf plate? Or "Miss 1933"?

Thanks!
Jane

Here's a piece from The Charleston Attic blog on the 140-piece dinner service featuring famous women created by Vanessa Bell and Duncan Grant. It is one of the largest commissioned works produced by the artists and was commissioned in 1932.
