Printing Details

First edition. Hardback. 27 × 22cm, 87pp

This book documents the notable holdings of early 20th-century British avant-garde art held in Adelaide collections—primarily within the Art Gallery of South Australia and nearby historic holdings such as Carrick Hill. It focuses on two overlapping, influential movements in British art between roughly 1900 and the 1920s. Firstly, The Camden Town Group, the realists and post-impressionists who captured urban working-class and middle-class London life (Walter Sickert, Lucien Pissarro, Spencer Gore, Harold Gilman, Henry Lamb), and secondly The Bloomsbury Group & Omega Workshops, exploring the post-impressionist fine art and decorative design produced by artists such as Vanessa Bell, Duncan Grant, and Roger Fry.
