    The Book “Omega and After” is a beautifully illustrated account of the workshops and their aftermath. It focuses on the three principals – Roger Fry, Vanessa Bell, and Duncan Grant and traces their artistic production (and their tangled personal relationships) from 1913 to the interwar years. Even when the workshops closed, Grant and Bell continued their interior design work in their decorated house at Charleston. This is a rich collection of quite rare pictures, portraits and sketches.

    You will have to look at all the different artists that composed The Bloomsbury Grooup and you will see the similarities to your work…their lives also make fascinating reading…both the books they wrote and books that were written about them…
