Clive Bell and the Making of Modernism
'Amusing, charming, stimulating, urbane' - THE TIMES'Revelatory' - GUARDIAN'Restores Clive Bell vividly to life' - Lucasta Miller______________Clive Bell is perhaps better known today for being a Bloomsbury socialite and the husband of artist Vanessa Bell, sister to Virginia Woolf. Yet Bell was a highly important figure in his own right: an internationally renowned art critic who defended daring new forms of expression at a time when Britain was closed off to all things foreign. His groundbreaking book Art brazenly subverted the narratives of art history and cemented his status as the great interpreter of modern art.

Selected Letters of Clive Bell
A selection of letters by the pacifist and noted art critic Clive Bell, expertly annotated by his biographer Clive Bell was a pivotal member of the Bloomsbury Group. His marriage to Vanessa Bell and his, at times tempestuous, relations with his sister-in-law Virginia Woolf form important strands in the cultural history of modernism. A tireless champion of modernist art, a committed pacifist and conscientious objector, Bell produced a huge body of correspondence with many of the leading artistic and political figures of his time. His lively, witty, highly opinionated letters are a window into the turbulence of the early twentieth century, populated by friends and acquaintances including T. S....
Civilization
Originally published in 1928, this timeless essay interrogates the meaning of civilization in the aftermath of the Great War. During the First World War, Britain took up arms to “fight for civilization.” Once it was over, Clive Bell dared to inquire about the lofty abstraction that was worth such a sacrifice in blood and treasure. In Civilization, Bell provocatively—and persuasively—suggests that this grand human institution is rooted not in the dignity of all people, but rather in the existence of a leisure class. With deep insight and cutting wit, Bell dissects the platitudes and pretensions of Western society. An influential art critic and key member of the Bloomsbury Group, he dedicated this classic work to his friend Virginia Woolf.

Art
British art critic Clive Bell has tried to develop the complete theory of visual art with this text. From chapters on aesthetics and post-impressionalism to chapters on art and its relation with religion, history and ethics, it deals with a range of topics from 'what is art?' to 'the future' of art.
