Bloomsbury Stud: The Art of Stephen Tomlin | Exhibition Film 

Please, Phillip, do more of these insight pieces on the great artists you admire. For those of us in the hinterlands, they are rays of light!

The way you have with Words Phillip. ❤ it🇳🇴

❤ Thank you for your insight into this group of artists. Tommy's work still portrays them in 3D splendor. D.

A most welcome and fascinating new episode. Many thanks!

Sounds like the Bloomsbury Group were a precursor to the hippie movement of the sixties. I am enjoying these shorts of yours Philip.

How lovely - much enjoyed this Philip. You always manage to get across the essence of the artist in a captivating and succinct way.

Another fantastic character of the Set! And you are correct. The busts provide great images, more telling than mere pictures and some of the portraits I've seen. You realize the sculptor had intimate knowledge. 😂

Thank you. Beautifully put together, a fascinating person,. His sculpture is fascinating too. I had no idea the bust of Virginia Woolf was by him.

That was different and interesting. Thank you!

A very insightful biography that is both enjoyable and educational.

I am familiar with with so many of the names of those connected to the Bloomsbury Group, but sadly not all of their work. Thank you for these interesting and revealing videos.

More of this, please. It's joy!

Interesting and fascinating video. When you said, Henrietta Bingham was an American socialite. I wondered if she was one of the Bingham‘s in Louisville, Kentucky, where I live. Checked online, and she was born in Louisville. She died in 1968 and is buried with her father and Louisville. The Bingham family at one time owned newspapers, a TV station and a radio station in Louisville.

Lovely to see you Philip! Hugs.

Always a treat to see one of your programs. Thank you.

Thank you, I was unaware of this artist.

Those who comprised Bloomsbury, and other artists and writers of that period, fought so valiantly to shake-off the hypocrisy and overwrought culture of the Victorian era, and as artists succeeded, and set the pace for the 20th century. But as individuals, they paid a price, unable to fully pull themselves free of their Victorian roots. Tomlin is a perfect example. Perhaps Lytton Strachey was the most successful, personally and as a writer. A wonderful vlog, thanks so much.

Thank you for the tutorial. It was brilliant.

Affectionately put

Philip, What fantastical commentary and video with some exquisite pieces! And just when I (too) believe modern 20th century busts to be en vogue.~ I *just* did a photoshoot yesterday of my bust collection -- both real and decorative, out on the veranda--high above the West End of Boston, on the waterfront. It was like the Valley of the Kings. lol While I do love pictures. This illumination on the Bloomsbury set's "Stud" (I love that stoutness-- you're publicly using both the word and term "Stud".), and the sculptures that surrounded them. Highly enjoyable - and educational. What is more, here in the U.S. - specifically Boston, Massachusetts, it is "Gay Pride Month" --which began yesterday on the 1st. So, Perfect timing! Ta! -Mätthew PS Please create more videos. These videos burn a fire of inspiration within me. Please continue to thrall us with your acumen. Cheers!

What a wonderful production - I’ve always had a strong interest in this crowd, but I’ve learned so much in the space of 10 minutes. What a gem - beautifully produced and scripted.

SUPER MINI DOCO great work

Thank you! So interesting!!

Well worth visiting this exhibition. Beautifully presented. Can also highly recommend the Art in Isolation videos posted on this platform.

Fascinating, I history of which I was unaware. Thank you

Grazie Mille

Lovely Video excellent production your videos are absolute treasures, great to see you Philip!

As with your wonderful exhibition of Bloomsbury paintings from last year I am coming over from Croatia to see this. Thank you for mounting it.

Sir, I have to tell you how much I have enjoyed your channel!! I wish I had found you during the pandemic, but better late then never! Kudos, well done, and thank you! Haven’t enjoyed anything so well since my college art history lectures. 😊 Subscribed and looking forward to more!

Great sculpture. People don't have the mentality to achieve anything as humanistic and genuinely creative as this, without sterile gimmickry, today.

Thank you for this exploration. I wonder if anyone has ever done a psychological study of the Bloomsbury Group? Great art, great pain--experienced and inflicted. Group think in their non-convention, peer pressure in their individuality, and a seemingly never ending sexual partner bingo. We saw this in the 60's hippy age with the added seasoning of political protest. I'm sure its been done, so I will explore google a bit.

Thanks!!!!!

Wonderful video and so instructive about one of the lesser-known Bloomsbury denizens. A slight correction -- at 6;00 in the film we are shown 2 men, Ralph Partridge and another whom Philip then identifies as Lytton Strachey. I believe, in fact, this is Lytton's brother, James Strachey, the English translator of Sigmund Freud.

Where can I see the paintings on the walls in this film?

Thank you! Can you tell a story about Russian art in Great Britain?

As Tommy hammed for the camera, cigarette in hand, there was just a fleeting image of Brad Pitts doing the same, not long ago. Gorgeous men, being crazy!

Poor Tommy, consumed by ‘The Beasts of Bloomsbury’

Interesting, I find his art derivative and dull but his life story is interesting

‘Uninhabited free love’ with respect, many would conclude, code for sexual perversity amongst the creative elite.

What is remarkable & evidential about Tommy is how banal the work is. What a load of precious tosh. Get objective.

Hello, Philip. As an American follower, I was wondering if you could do an extended in-depth episode about the life and work of Duncan Grant? He's one of my favorite 20th-century British painters of the seismically pivotal Bloomsbury Group. I find his interestingly complex and charismatic life (especially at Charleston House) as fascinating as his work. By the way, I love your channel and content. I also like your Fake or Fortune series. All the best from North Carolina, USA. Cheers.
