1912, Vanessa Bell, Frederick and Jessie Etchells Painting -- Tate Britain (London)
From the museum label: Artists Frederick Etchells and his sister Jessie came to stay with Vanessa Bell at her home in Sussex in summer 1912. Bell painted them at work in a room with doors opening onto a garden. The work is as much a study in colour and form as it is a depiction of the siblings. Bell thought Jessie 'a nice character... and very silent' but found Frederick difficult, and their visit was a strain. Both artists worked for the Omega Workshops, an interior design project set up by Roger Fry, in 1913.
