Vaessa Bell - paintings - beautiful exhibition at Dulwich

I had to change my judgement of Vanessa Bell ans I had thought her a painter of ugly blobs in unfortunate colours, and an amateurish try hard. But I really loved many of the pictures in this exhibition and now I am full of respect for Mrs Bell for going on and on with her work and experimenting with, for example, Picasso's style or Matisse's style and continuing to plough her own furrow. I can see now that she did deserve the respect her sister gave her (I sort of feel that VW thought VB the true-er artist of the two.)
