Grant and Bell - Moderns/Modernos

Hello All.

Unusual Couple who has been part of the famous Bloomsbury group. A group formed by intellectual, artist and willing to break moralist rules made on Victorian times. 

Although he was gay, they had a long relationship. There is a place outside London where they used to live which I meant to go for a long time. Charleston House. It is full of their painting and permeated experiences on their walls as they spent 40 years in there.

Duncan obviously was inspired by male beauty and Vanessa cherished that as one of his qualities. You can see that both of them inspired each other when painting and most of the times they worked together. 

If you got the chance to watch on BBC iplayer "life in squares" it is a tv series about that group and especially about Duncan and Vanessa relationship. Worth it. 

Hola a todos.

Una pareja inusual que formo parte del group de intelectuales, pintores llamado Bloomsbury que quiso romper con las normas morales creadas durante el reinado de Victoria.

Aunque el era gay, tuvieron una larga relación amorosa. Hay un casa fuera de Londres que siempre he querido visitar desde hace mucho tiempo. Charleston House. Esta llena de sus cuadros y experiencias impregnadas en sus paredes, vivieron allí por 40 años.  

Duncan, obviamente, le inspiraba la belleza masculina y Vanessa lo respetaba como una de sus cualidades. Se puede ver que ambos se inspiraban a la hora de pintar y la mayoría de las veces lo hacían juntos. 

Si podeis, hay una serie de TV en BBC iplayer llamada "Life in Squares" sobre Bloomsbury group y especialmente sobre su vida en pareja.  Merece la pena.
