Clive Bell
Arthur Clive Heward Bell (born September 16, 1881 in East Shefford , Berkshire , England , † September 17, 1964 in London ) was a British art critic and was associated with the Bloomsbury Group .
Life
Clive Bell studied at Trinity College in Cambridge and then came to London , where he met the painter Vanessa Stephen (sister of Virginia Woolf ) and married in 1907.
This marriage had failed when the First World War broke out, but was never divorced: They not only visited each other regularly and spent their holidays together, but Clive also lived for a long time in the Charleston Farmhouse with Vanessa, Duncan Grant and their (= Clives, Vanessas and Duncan's) children. Clive and Vanessa had two sons ( Julian Bell and Quentin Bell ) who both became writers. Julian fell in the Spanish Civil War in 1937 . Angelica Bell had Clive's last name until she got married, but was actually Grant's daughter, which she learned from her mother shortly after Julian's death.
