  • In the fifth episode of ‘Charleston: The Bloomsbury Muse’ series, Philip enjoys the evocative power of Vanessa Bell and Duncan Grant’s still life painting at Charleston.
    The vinegar bottle depicted by Vanessa is likely to have been the first painting she completed following the death of her son Julian in 1937, whilst Duncan depicts a luxurious moment in the kitchen during the Second World War.
    These paintings are on display in our current exhibition 'Charleston: The Bloomsbury muse' until 10th November.
    Vanessa Bell, 'Apples and Vinegar Bottle', painting on loan.

    I came from Croatia for this exhibition and it was worth battling against all the burocracy to witness this show. Thank you so much Mr Mould for mounting it.

    Just incredible. This exhibition is sublime. I landed in London this morning from Vermont, USA and stopped in Phillip Mould Gallery. Spent nearly an hour with this exhibition and left the gallery less than an hour ago!

    I had the privilege of going to a International Brigade meeting in San Francisco and met two American volunteers on the Spanish Civil War. There were 98 and 100 years old, in 2005 and they call it the lost cause. I told them it was not lost our love to them stay with us and help us to live under the dictatorship. The people at the meeting started to clapping after I said that .It was emotional.Not cause is ever lost when people were so generous to offer their lives for freedom.

    Is not the setting of fruit and a vinegar jug a visual expression of life being bitter sweet? Like George Herbert’s poem:-

    Wow, thanks Julian for supporting the Spanish cause. As many international brigades did. The jug looks like a Spanish jug and bring Picasso to my mind.
    Painful memory for her.
    Beautiful! Art is food for the soul.

    I think I will pass on the carcasses and stick with the vinegar and fruit. 😋

    The painting by Vanessa is rather reminiscent of vanitas paintings.

    I visited your gallery for the first time last week on the recommendation of a friend and I found the Exhibition and the whole ambience of the gallery delightful, helped to a large extent by the warm fragrance of pot pourri, I would dearly like to know where I can buy this or is it something you have specially created? Thank you.

    The still life of, 'vase with fruit', is nice enough. But 'carcasses on table', I find it to be too macabre.
    I am not a Vegetarian. But still. I wish the gallery well with this picture. Someone should love it more than yourself.

    What a beautiful story. I don't get it. Some CZcams videos of nonsense like dumb 20 somethings talking about their odd lives get thousands of likes but a wonderful video like this only 341. It should be the other way around. It's a sad world we live in.
