Virginia and Leonard Woolf Remember Their War Dead

SISTER ACT: VANESSA BELL'S DARING BOOK COVER DESIGNS

MARY RYAN KARNES

Every time you refer to her as Virginia Woolf’s big sister, Vanessa Bell rolls her eyes at you from the grave. An acclaimed modernist painter and founding member of the lauded Bloomsbury group, Bell also dominated the world of modernist book cover design. Bell was the queen of the unclean line, and her book covers were the visual manifestation of her sister’s uninhibited, musical prose. If you fear asymmetry, read no further. If you crave kinetic graphics and broken rules, carry on.

A brief word on Bell’s early life: she, like Woolf, reaped the benefits of upper middle class respectability and ‘a room of one’s own,’ that is, a physical and figurative space for creativity to grow. Bell, nee Stephen, was the daughter of  literary critic Sir Leslie Stephen. She was raised in a family that celebrated independent thought and artistic expression (may we all be so lucky). And she had talent. From the start, Bell was hungry to create. Her older stepbrother George Duckworth once recalled his stepsister’s disdain for high society gatherings and anything that wasn’t art, citing how she “resented the forced pomp of these occasions with some vigour, longing only for her paints and easel.”

In fact, Bell’s only lifelong commitment was to her paints and easel, and to the Modernist ideals that defined her work. We could discuss Bell’s open marriage to art critic and founding Bloomsbury member Clive Bell, her relationships with modern art critic Roger Fry and painter Duncan Grant, and the series of love-polygons that dominated her personal life. But we’re here to admire Bell’s work, which, unsurprisingly, garners far more interest than the ‘scandalous’ life she led at the forefront of the Modernist movement.

Known primarily for her paintings, which featured then-radical use of brushstroke and color, Bell also believed in the value of art in the commercial world. Along with Roger Fry and Duncan Grant, Bell founded the Omega Workshops, which emphasized color and pattern for products like textiles, furniture, and pottery.

Then, of course, there are Bell’s book cover designs, decadent in their deviance from clean lines and dust jacket norms. Virginia Woolf once told Bell, “Your style is unique, because so truthful, and therefore it upsets one completely.” When we examine any one of the 38 book covers Bell designed for Woolf, we see shapes formed with a vivaciousness and urgency that only the Modernist period would inspire. In a world dominated by software programs that promise utmost symmetry and a market that demands tidy design, Bell’s book covers remind us of the joy in reading. And in creating book covers.

Often, when we read about Modernism, we can easily find the period inaccessible to those who did not live the Bloomsbury lifestyle. Bell’s designs, however, remind us how the mantra make it new resonates beyond the art world and beyond the twentieth century. These unbothered covers could teach us a lesson or two about breaking the rules.

Leonard and Virginia Woolf's Hogarth Press published Vita Sackville-West​'s THE EDWARDIANS on this day in 1930.

Vintage Books & Anchor Books

11小時 · 

Vita Sackville-West​'s THE EDWARDIANS was first published on this day in 1930 by the Woolfs' Hogarth Press. The novel was an instant bestseller.

"Acres of red-brown roof surrounded him, heraldic beasts carved in stone sitting at each corner of the gables. Across the great courtyard the flag floated red and blue and languid from a tower. Down the garden, on a lawn of brilliant green, he could see the sprinkled figures of his mother’s guests, some sitting under the trees, some strolling about; he could hear their laughter and the tap of the croquet mallets,"
--from THE EDWARDIANS (1930)

A glittering satire of Edwardian high society, THE EDWARDIANS features a privileged brother and sister torn between tradition and a chance at an independent life. Sebastian is young, handsome, moody, and the heir to Chevron, a vast and opulent ducal estate. He feels a deep love for the countryside and for his patrimony, but he loathes the frivolous social world his mother and her shallow friends represent. At one of his mother’s decadent house parties, Sebastian meets two people who shake his sense of self: Leonard Anquetil, a lowborn arctic explorer, who questions his mode of living; and Lady Roehampton, a married society beauty with a string of lovers, who breaks his heart. When Sebastian reaches the brink of despair, it is his self-possessed younger sister, Viola, who opens for them both a gateway to another world.

半年前，我錄Flaubert and George Sand時，注意到2017年的新書Flaubert in the Ruins of Paris: The Story of a Friendship, a Novel, and a Terrible Year (2017) 當時，粗心大意，沒注意Brooks與Brook的差別，忘掉查作者Peter Brook ，以為他是來過台灣的戲劇導演Peter Brook (born 1925), theatre director。
今天買書贈友，才注意到作者是美國教授，不是英國人。
Peter Brooks (born 1938) is Sterling Professor Emeritus of Comparative Literature at Yale University and Andrew W. Mellon Scholar in the department of Comparative Literature and the Center for Human Values at Princeton University. He has been Professor in the Department of English and School of Law at the University of Virginia. Among his many accomplishments is the founding of the Whitney Humanities Center at Yale University. Brooks is an interdisciplinary scholar whose work cuts across French and English literature, law, and psychoanalysis. He was influenced by fellow Yale scholar, Paul de Man, to whom his book Reading for the Plot is dedicated.[1]

“Books say: She did this because. Life says: She did this. Books are where things are explained to you; life is where things aren't. I'm not surprised some people prefer books.”
―from FLAUBERT’S PARROT (1984) by Julian Barnes

A kind of detective story, relating a cranky amateur scholar’s search for the truth about Gustave Flaubert, and the obsession of this detective whose life seems to oddly mirror those of Flaubert’s characters. READ more here: https://www.penguinrandomhouse.com/…/flauberts-parrot-by-j…/

Mon carnet George Sand

Nohant, peut-être trop vaste et pas assez mondain pour Chopin...

"Chopin voulait toujours Nohant et ne supportait jamais Nohant.
Il était l'homme du monde par excellence, non pas du monde trop officiel et trop nombreux, mais du monde intime, des salons de vingt personnes, de l'heure où la foule s'en va et où les habitués se pressent autour de l'artiste pour lui arracher par d'aimables importunités le plus pur de son inspiration. C'est alors seulement qu'il donnait tout son génie et tout son talent...".
Extrait d'Histoire de ma vie, autobiographie de George Sand.

Illustration : portrait de Chopin par Eugène Delacroix en 1838, conservé au musée du Louvre ; photo de la maison de George Sand à Nohant, façade sud (les deux fenêtres ouvertes correspondent à celles de la chambre que Chopin occupait au sein de la maison).
