This study day uses the Tate Archive’s rich resource of correspondence, writings, photographs, art work and artefacts to form a detailed picture of Virginia Woolf and Vanessa Bell.

The session is led by Maggie Humm, author of Snapshots of Bloomsbury: The Private Lives of Virginia Woolf and Vanessa Bell (Tate Publishing, 2006), and explores rarely seen photographs – both amateur and professional – that cast new light on the private lives of Woolf and Bell. A selection of these photographs from the Tate Archive is introduced by Tate Archivist Sue Breakell, along with broader archival material, including a selection of their prolific correspondence that illuminates the historical, cultural and artistic milieux of their circle, as well as their domestic lives in Bloomsbury and beyond.
