Bloomsbury Stud: The Art of Stephen Tomlin | Exhibition Film
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 1 июн 2023
- Starting off at Charleston, where Stephen Tomlin’s friends, lovers, and sitters came together, this exhibition film traces Tomlin’s life and career, revealing the stories behind the artworks on display in 'Bloomsbury Stud: The Art of Stephen Tomlin', on view at the Philip Mould Gallery from 5th June until 11th August 2023.
Stephen Tomlin, the Bloomsbury group’s primary sculptor, immortalised the faces of Bloomsbury’s best-known characters, including Duncan Grant, Lytton Strachey and Virginia Woolf.
With inexhaustible charisma, disarming good looks and undeniable talent, Tomlin captivated his contemporaries, and references to Stephen Tomlin pepper countless biographies of 20th century figures. However, until recently, that was where his story remained.
Now, this exhibition aims to return Tomlin to the artistic spotlight where he belongs.

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!
❤ Thank you for your insight into this group of artists. Tommy's work still portrays them in 3D splendor. D.
The way you have with Words Phillip. ❤ it🇳🇴
A most welcome and fascinating new episode. Many thanks!
Thank you for watching!
That was different and interesting. Thank you!
Thank you!
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. 😂
How lovely - much enjoyed this Philip. You always manage to get across the essence of the artist in a captivating and succinct way.
Thank you!
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.
Thank you!
Sounds like the Bloomsbury Group were a precursor to the hippie movement of the sixties. I am enjoying these shorts of yours Philip.
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.
Thank you for watching!
More of this, please. It's joy!
Thank you!
It most certainly is a joy! Thank you so much Mr Mould I love the way you present it’s SO elegant!
A very insightful biography that is both enjoyable and educational.
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.
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.
Always a treat to see one of your programs. Thank you.
Thank you for the tutorial. It was brilliant.
Lovely to see you Philip! Hugs.
Great sculpture. People don't have the mentality to achieve anything as humanistic and genuinely creative as this, without sterile gimmickry, today.
Thank you, I was unaware of this artist.
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!

PS Please create more videos. These videos burn a fire of inspiration within me. Please continue to thrall us with your acumen. Cheers!
Thank you!
@@philipmouldco4360 No. (We all), *Thank You! And your team.* Ta!
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.
Affectionately put
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.
Thank you!
Well worth visiting this exhibition. Beautifully presented. Can also highly recommend the Art in Isolation videos posted on this platform.
Lovely Video excellent production your videos are absolute treasures, great to see you Philip!
Thank you for watching!
Thank you! So interesting!!
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.
Thank you!
SUPER MINI DOCO great work
Fascinating, I history of which I was unaware. Thank you
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!
Thank you for watching!
Grazie Mille
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.
Poor Tommy, consumed by ‘The Beasts of Bloomsbury’
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!
Where can I see the paintings on the walls in this film?
Most of the paintings are on display at the gallery and can also be viewed on our website: philipmould.com/artworks/categories/modern/-20th-century/modern-british-art-for-sale/
Thank you! Can you tell a story about Russian art in Great Britain?
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.
Arrogant and opinionated.
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.
