Various sourcesVanessa Bell was an avid photographer taking snapshots of her family and friends from 1900 until the late 1940s. Her albums provide a unique visual record of the Bloomsbury Group. Whilst the two earliest albums depict the Stephens's family and friends in formal pose, often in photographers' studios, Vanessa Bell's photographs focus on those carefree moments, taken mostly outdoors and usually in the garden at Charleston Farmhouse. Initially, Bell both took and developed her own photographs, but later she made use of professional assistance. Her son Quentin Bell observed in 'Vanessa Bell's Family Album', "She gives us a record of family and friends and in fact uses the camera as most people use it if they are not professional photographers. The family album becomes an expression of sentiment and, to a very large extent, an expression of family affection".
Bell [née Stephen] , Vanessa , 1879-1961 , painterKit Wood was a painter of seascapes, landscapes, imaginative and figure compositions. This collection of photocopied material consists largely of transcripts of letters from Kit to his mother, covering the important years of his artistic career from his move to Paris in 1921, until shortly before his death in 1930. The letters document Wood's close relationship with his mother, as well as the strains his choice of career and way of life placed on the relationship. Recurrent throughout the correspondence are descriptions of Wood's attitudes and feelings towards the art world and society, closely linked with his desire for success; the financial difficulties which beset him; and references to, or descriptions of, his work. The collection also includes copies of letters to Doodie Reitlinger from Wood and from Frosca Munster, and a few letters to his mother and to Frosca Munster from various correspondents after his death. There is also a manuscript copy of Cingria's eulogistic article about Wood, 'Ossianide', and a number of reproductions of Wood's work.
