Vanessa Bell Painted Door.

This oil painting features the iconic painted door at Charleston Farmhouse, originally created by Vanessa Bell to connect Duncan Grant’s bedroom to his dressing room. The door is adorned with silhouette portraits of the Grant family, capturing the essence of their close-knit artistic world. At Charleston, the practice of painting on doors was a signature element, with both Bell and Grant transforming the home into a living canvas, blurring the line between art and everyday life.

Vanessa Bell was a key figure in the Bloomsbury Group, known for her bold, expressive artwork and her pioneering role in British modernism. As both an artist and a designer, she transformed Charleston House into a vibrant hub of creativity, blending fine art with everyday life. Her work continues to inspire, celebrated for its unique blend of color, form, and emotional depth.
