- In the third episode of our new Charleston: The Bloomsbury Muse film series, Philip discusses winter scenes depicted at Charleston by Vanessa Bell and Duncan Grant during the Second World War.
At the Outbreak of the WWII, Vanessa and Duncan moved permanently to Charleston . Situated on the south coast, Charleston was in an extremely vulnerable location, exposed to overhead enemy bombers. It was therefore within a road blocked restricted zone, with no one permitted in or out.
The three scenes depicted here present Vanessa and Duncan’s wartime experiences as artists. Each work demonstrates the solace they both found in painting during times of angst, and the sense of remote loneliness which War brought with it.
These works are currently on display at our current exhibition ‘Charleston: The Bloomsbury Muse’ until 10th November. Visit our website for further details: philipmould.com/exhibitions/2...

Dependant on the quality of the toast. Naturally.
Thank you for this
I love the first painting of the snow.
Definitely the way to spend bleak winter days during the war. Paint, paint, paint...
Wonderful wonderfilled Philip, thankyou x x
I love snow scenes but the wonderful light in "The Threshing Barn" is unforgettable. I understand your reference to the luminescence of nativity scenes and would love to have a print of this on my wall!
I love that Duncan Grant snow scene. The use of blue and yellow in that arbour capture bright sunlight on snow perfectly.
The threshing barn is extraordinary, i want to climb into the picture and stretch out and have a snooze in the hay and straw
I loved this commentary Philip love as always to you & family and Cedric 🐾

Thank you, I love your videos. Such an eye opener for someone who has not really 'seen' paintings, just looked at them before.
Thank you very much.
Hard times for England as the rest of the world . Well reflect on these beautiful paintings.
Thanks
Thank you !
I love it! I grew up on horse and diary farms in Wisconsin, and they've captured the subtleties of the seasons. The depth, light, and texture of the barn painting is captivating.
loving these
Philip, your passion for art is amazing and contagious. Fake&Fortune, art in isolation - art as infotainment. Brilliant. Thanks. Kind regards from germany. Andre
Gold Mould commentary - ta.
Imaging the stress which the artists must have been under at the time.
As I always say, "Nature is the world's best therapy. And it's free!"
Yes, enormous stress no doubt. But nevertheless they had 'a good war' - such wonderful plantings. How did they manage it?
Thank you so much for bringing a taste of the exhibition to us who can’t be there in person!
Vanessa Bell's picture contains that icy coldness simply because she felt that way. The image is good but I do not see ---pick up one atom of beauty or happiness. In my reality when something is void of beauty and happiness is a joyless object. On the other hand there is playfulness around the pond in that wintry image.
Artist when they create their creation regardless what the subject is about contains the same energy as their own. Their invisible energy becomes part of the picture and time cannot destroy this.
