A Room of Their Own

Oakland, CA—The Mills College Art Museum is pleased to present A Room of Their Own: The Bloomsbury Artists in American Collections from November 7 through December 13, 2009.
Organized to coincide with the 100-year anniversary of Bloomsbury’s beginnings, the exhibition will examine the American reception of the art produced between 1910 and the 1970s by the Bloomsbury artists and their associates and collaborators. The exhibition will include over 190 paintings, watercolors, drawings, books from the Hogarth Press, and decorative works from the Omega Workshops, and will focus on how this small group of artists made its imprint on the cultural thinking of their day.
“A hundred years after the Bloomsbury group was established,” says Nancy E. Green, the organizing curator and the Gale and Ira Drukier Curator of Prints, Drawings, and Photographs at the Johnson Museum, “their story still resonates and brings together a variety of interests across many artistic and intellectual pursuits.”
