- In the first of our new run of films - running in tandem with our current exhibition 'Charleston: The Bloomsbury Muse' - Philip discusses the exuberant wall panels painted for the internationally acclaimed economist, and Bloomsbury member, John Maynard Keynes - author of 'The Economics Consequences of Peace' (1919).
They were painted by Duncan Grant and Vanessa Bell together at Charleston in c.1919/20. Keynes’ work was so influential, that he altered the course of 20th-century economics.
'Charleston: The Bloomsbury Muse', is open until the 10th November. See our website for details: philipmould.co...
He's a good presenter. I like him on Fake or Fortune, too. His style feels like he's presenting and revealing fascinating information to the viewer which really engages, and for all he's obviously an expert, you never sense any superiority or art snobbishness. I'm visitng Charleston today so these documentaries were great to watch.
I miss you 😻
You beautiful man!! U had not realized you were indeed doing a series on the Bloomsbury Group! Thank you so very much.
Thank you, Philip, lovely to see and hear you again. Very much enjoyed this presentation and will check these folks out anew.
Love them altogether and the blue outer panels brill -- thankyou glad you're back.
👏 Thank You For Sharing The Luxury Of Your Time And Expertise 🙌 Your presentations are very captivating ~ enlightening and time well invested 🌟 With Great Appreciation For The Gift Of Your Knowledge 🌹 Thank You
Good seeing you again
Good to see you and I love reading about the Bloomsbury group and seeing the work, thank you.
Lovely to see this Philip... Charleston is my favourite place in the world... I love the way these panels, grouped together like that, create a sort of fusion between the two artists....as you said.. fun trying to work out who painted what!...
These beautiful gems of art and knowledge are back and I love them!
There is something quite marvellous about Philip Mould, his voice is a dream he’s lovely to look at, he has great taste in art and dogs and best of all he has a way with words. You know you can trust him when it comes to pictures.
Missed you very much. Now to see you. Hope you are all well!
Wonderful ~ thank you so much.
Many thanks, Mr Mould, for yet another all-too-brief sharing of your erudition, worn extremely lighly as always!
Wow, we missed you. This made our evening!! Love from far away. Take care :)
I find it very calming to watch and listen to your art expositions. In fact I would enjoy seeing you read a phone book and trying to pronounce all the exotic names! 🥰🇬🇧🇺🇸
Congradulations on an inspired choice in the display of these stunning works.
Beauty everywhere. Think. It can be done.
Your knowledge and informing method is superb! I'm just not sure how i feel about these primitive looks. Do love the color, layout and presentation.
How lovely, thank you Philip.
Wonderful presentation of inspiring artists. Thanks so much and great to see you again.
Gorgeous paintings, and I adore the blue surrounding them!
I love the thought and mental image of Duncan and Vanessa painting these together and I love that the women are clothed and the men nude. And then the muses and their meaning to the two painters. I also really love the architectural framework of paneling - it ropes them together, confines them but seems to support the dynamic motion of the group. Was this painted 100 years ago? Woweee!
Warm regards
Jennie
Such a beautiful piece. And it is nice to see you again.
What a treat to find your video, you have been missed. I am not sure that I will be making the trip to see your exhibition but I am certainly tempted.
Thank you.
Great stuff again maestro, That top left hand figure of the male I see as an athlete lifting one of the heavy stones that they used to test themselves with in the ancient Greek world, and not a globe. For the Greeks, and indeed the Romans, the fit trained body was a very important part of the fit fully functioning mind, enabling it to explore new territory and attain new heights of knowledge and creativity. Thats my theory anyway!
Snappy camera work.The master is back i think.Great work.
love this, have missed looking at your Art , may try and get to the gallery to see this :)
Great stuff - two of my favourite artists.
Fascinating art work.
Love to see!
What a nice piece to have in one of one's sitting rooms.
I like the Egyptian Blue frame; I think it works well. Though, moving it for this presentation must have been easy, not being the one carrying it, I assume.
These 'panels', if you will... They make me think in size and topic, of these two double-sided charcoal sketches: (a) realistically executed male-nearly nude, accept for his jockstrap. They were done by female painter and American artist, Jessie Burns Parke.
Il professore also gave to me--as "payment" for work in the studio, a small oil portrait of the very same young man whom was sitting for Parke at the time, whilst she was tripping around Paris in the early part of the 20th century. We put him in a nice bold renaissance style frame.
One of the greatest British art scandals that’s never talked about is about Duncan’s magnificent panels for RMS Queen Mary he spent years on - they went through endless negotiations and Grant was paid. Then at the 11th hour Cunard rejected them. They never went to sea. It was the ultimate insult to Grant. Yet because Cunard technically still owned them and kept them in secret storage - he couldn’t show them himself or resell them. I worked for Cunard for many years but I hate them for what they did to Duncan Grant.
I wonder what happened to the Cunard paintings?
@@jenniewilliams1668 I’m not sure if they’re in public collections now or not but I know Grant had to ask permission of Cunard to even show them and on occasions they refused if they thought it might bring Cunard into disrepute. Yet they boast to this day that Queen Mary was the apotheosis of art! They were to be the main feature in the First Class Lounge
Lovely video.
Philip, this may seem like a funny comment, yet I am being completely serious.
The older I am getting, the more I wish to improve my wardrobe, and include a more European sense of dress style.
I have actually gone shopping - specifically for day cravats--like the ones which you wear when presenting.
[No, I am not going to ask you to please put out an instructional video on "How-To" make a proper cravat. lol]
Anyway, My best to you, Oliver and your family. Stay safe.~ And please continue creating new video presentations.
Cheers,

Bien vu my boy
Love of course I can’t have original, are they in print
Why are the men in the panels nude or nearly so and the women all have long dresses?
Grant and Keynes were mostly gay, in fact they had a fling, I am assuming that the male nudes suggest their shared interest in the classical male nude form, meanwhile I agree that it was Vanessa who painted the women making the choice not to do them nude.
