- This monumental portrait of Vanessa Bell, by Duncan Grant, is one of the highlights of Philip Mould & Company's booth at Frieze Masters (F07).
Duncan Grant and Vanessa Bell are the two artists heralded as the pioneers of the Bloomsbury group. This is one of Grant’s most artistically progressive early portraits, painted around the time of the conception of his and Bell’s first and only child, Angelica. Executed during Grant’s most experimental decade, it is powerfully redolent of the French school influences of Cezanne and Picasso.

Mr Mould's voice always brings peace and tranquillity to my being . Thank you kind Sir
Yes, please more of it! Explaining arts and crafts in our state museums is my job, too, so I enjoy looking at your way of delivering your thoughts and knowledge Mr. Mold, we never stop learning. Thanks and hello from northern Germany.
Ja sehr interrasante. Bin Ich uberusched das jemand aus Deutschland schaut auch zu. Ja Ich bin eine Englischer Frau ! Also I don't know if you can get his program Fake or Fortune
@@ediwilliams9748 yes, I can. Here on TH-cam. One of my favorite series
Gosh that's a cracking piece - the Bloomsbury treasures are never ending.
Please, Phillip, do more of these videos!!! We learn so much from you.
Hello Philip, thank you for discovering this portrait for the world to enjoy. Lovely to see you, Dorothy Smith 😊
Love the way Phillip describes paintings👏🏻🇳🇴
Wonderful analysis, as always.
Marvellous as I watch. Looking forward to tonight's "Fake or Fortune" re Cézanne, and Pissarro
As usual, a wealth of information and juicy tidbits. I look forward to your posts here on the west coast of Canada. We get some of your programs on the PBS.
Beautiful
What a great find and a fantastic story. Thank you so much for sharing this with us. I love your enthusiasm for these artist's work.
Brilliant
!I love Philip’s commentary enthusiasm & knowledge,but I cant share it for this painting,significant or not! the eyes look really bizarre!
very exquisite piece
Fantastic~ What a find! You must be elated. Enjoy it. Ta
PS If you have the time. Some new videos would be fab! Cheers!
Love the back story - hate the eyes !
Enjoying this again. Mr. Mould are you familiar with the art work of The Viscount of Hinchingbrooke, on TH-cam as Mapperton Live and American Viscountess. The Viscountess, Julie Montegue, had a painting by Ambrose Bierce behind her in a recent video. There must be a treasure trove important paintings at Mapperton.
10.30pm. Very Interesting 😊
I assume the Nude in the background is the Artist Duncan Grant....Dang! :) That will bring out the Artist in you! :)
Interesting - Duncan is trying out new concepts, but the result (to me) is clumsy.
He’s such a distinctly average painter, it’s bizarre he gets the acclaim he does presently when artists, truly innovative British artists, like Graham Sutherland, Victor Pasmore and Keith Vaughan are seemingly overlooked by curators and collectors alike.
So much of Grant’s (and the Bloomsbury’s in general) appeal is based upon his numerous boring liaisons and class snobbery.
Some of his stuff is not bad, though (as here) he strains to get effects which Picasso tosses off fluidly. Of course Grant's favorite subject matter gets attention...@@gilbertwalker3222
@@ericalbany Agreed, some of his stuff is genuinely alright, especially his decorative output with the Omega workshops (I think that’s where his talents lay best) but you’d think he was a Soutine or Modigliani level talent with the amount of exposure he receives. At times he comes across as a pretentious, daub-y Sunday painter. As you said, he struggles to assimilate style as effortlessly as Cezanne or Picasso did (but maybe that’s because they were actually innovative unlike Grant’s pastiches).
Grant's best work was IMHO not his derivative or experimental pieces.
A self portrait that somehow captures his louche character and painting of a hay rick spring to mind.
Bloomsbury was a bit of a mixed bag. There was genuine greatness e.g. Keynes.
I have been reading about them and have found it difficult to like what I have learned. Too many of their successes were underpinned by the social capital of their background and therefore undeserved advantage.
If he was not associated with the Bloomsbury group the world would never have heard of him, it's who you know!
Can you tell something about Russian art of the same period?
Check out our mosaic of Russian born artist Boris Anrep! philipmould.com/artworks/categories/18/6019-boris-vasilyevich-anrep-spirit-of-reasoning-incorporating-a-depiction-of-vaslav-c.-1913/ We will be sharing a short film on this work soon. Stay tuned.
This just about sums him up.
Listen to the ridiculous praise heaped on this ugly portrait.
Looks like a child knocked it out in 20 minutes.
Talk about The Emporers New Clothes. Absolutely ridiculous. We couldn't stop laughing...
