[Vwoolf] Woolf, painting, and the ordinary

[Brenda S. Helt]

Liz, you might have this student look at all of Christopher Reed's work on
Bloomsbury artists and domesticity.  Woolf's ideas on this are heavily
influenced by her sister's and Duncan Grant's, of course.  So Bloomsbury
Rooms: Modernism, Subculture, and Domesticity; and his Introduction to Not
at Home: The Suppression of Domesticity in Modern Art and Architecture, as
well as his essay in that collection:  " 'A Room of One's Own': The
Bloomsbury Group's Creation of a Modernist Domesticity."  In Reed's work,
the ordinary or everyday is exposed as a direct opposition to high
modernist, anti-domesticity (read misogyny), as in Wyndham Lewis et al.

 

Some thoughts.

Dear all,

 

A colleague's student is writing a paper on Woolf, painting, and the
ordinary (or everyday) and is in need of secondary sources. I'm having
trouble fitting those three things together to come up with recommendations.
Any suggestions out there for articles or book chapters the student should
consult? We'd all three be grateful!

 

Thanks for your thoughts.

 

With best wishes,

Liz
