Tobias Carroll Reviewed A New Biography About Vanessa Bell
For The Arts Newspaper, Tobias Carroll wrote a review of Wendy Hitchmough’s Vanessa Bell: The Life and Art of a Bloomsbury Radical. Carroll argues that the biography “makes the case for her importance as both an artist and a designer.”
In the review, Carroll writes, “From the very beginning of Vanessa Bell, Hitchmough sets herself a challenging task: to enumerate the full scope and influence of Bell’s artistic career. The result is both informative and evocative, a glimpse of a complicated life in one of the most lauded creative milieux of the 20th century. The result is a success; this is a clear and clarifying look at why Vanessa Bell matters.”
Carroll’s writing has appeared in The New York Times, Literary Hub, and other outlets
