Phone pics from last week’s pilgrimage, with my daughter Issy, to Charleston, the Sussex farmhouse of artists Vanessa Bell and Duncan Grant, who moved here in 1916. For more than half a century it provided a meeting point for the Bloomsbury circle including Vanessa’s sister Virgina Woolf, who lived four miles away with her husband Leonard. Today, more than one hundred years after establishing their rural idyll, the home and work produced there continues to inspire visionaries and aesthetes across a range of disciplines from artists @tessnewellstudio and @lukeedwardhall designer @jduncancampbell and @dior menswear artistic director @mrkimjones . Kim first visited the property as a 14 year old boy and was struck by the intense and thoroughly modern connections between the inhabitants. Duncan Grant’s paintings feature in his latest Dior Spring 2023 menswear collection. #Charleston #BloomsburyGroup #ArtistsHouse#InteriorDesign #CottageCore #ArtStudio #Decor #Painting#Modernism #CeramicArt #Ceramics #Modernism #DuncanGrant #VanessaBell #ArtistsHouse #InteriorDesign #dior #interiors
