Omega Burgundy Silk Oblong

Click Photo for larger view

The Bloomsbury Group was a diverse collection of writers, musicians and artists, educated at Cambridge, and living and working in close proximity in the fashionable area of Bloomsbury, London in the 1920s and 1930s. The romantically-entangled "Bloomsberries" frequently holidayed in the remote farm house they had decorated at Charleston in Sussex.

This exclusive social set featured Roger Fry, Duncan Grant, Vanessa Bell and her sister the writer Virginia Woolf, the economist George Maynard Keynes, as well as the flamboyant "Queen of Bohemia" Nina Hamnet. Fry wrote in a letter to Virginia Woolf from a train to Paris in 1928: "It is really a curse that we have become so notorious."

The Bloomsbury artists ran the Omega Workshops from 1913-1919 under the leadership of Roger Fry, who had defined the perception of British modern art at the beginning of the 20th century, inspired through his studies of the "Post-Impressionists."

The Omega Workshop aimed to bring modern art in touch with daily life by the production of decorative but functional objects. The workshop supported young designers, employing them to design and decorate items for domestic interiors, including tableware, furniture, lamps and rugs. Roger Fry bequeathed his collection of Bloomsbury Group paintings and Omega Workshop creations to the Courtauld Institute of Art Gallery in 1934.
