Summary:
Although of another place and time, the Bloomsbury group confronted issues that are remarkably current : international crises, war, the value of craft in an industrialized world, women’s rights, environmental protection, and the search for the true, the good, and the beautiful in their art and their lives. This publication, an exhibition catalog produced by the Herbert F.

A hundred years after the Bloomsbury group was established, their story still resonates and brings together a variety of interests across many artistic and intellectual pursuits.
