Vanessa Bell (1879–1961) was a British painter and designer, and a leading member of the Bloomsbury Group alongside her sister, Virginia Woolf, and husband, Clive Bell. Influenced by Post-Impressionism and the ideas of Roger Fry, she experimented with vivid colour, bold pattern, and abstraction in the years before 1914. Bell also designed for Fry’s Omega Workshops, producing striking decorative pieces that reflected her pioneering role in early modern British art.
