  • In 1911, Roger Fry and Vanessa Bell began an impassioned affair and this work captures that profound yet fleeting romantic bond. Bell spent much of the summer at Fry’s house whilst recovering from a serious bout of physical and mental illness. Unable to paint, she spent most of her time sitting or sleeping in deck chairs as depicted here. Fry was immensely attentive, and Bell later wrote to him; ‘What nurse was ever so good as you…?’

    By Painting her image he wanted to capture what he felt at the moment. Love- feelings of affinity cannot be painted or described, affinity has no boundaries. Painting only a flat profile he painted INFINITE it self and Infinite is void of images.

    Another title is Vanessa at Rest bc I remember reading that she was very active always doing Something and Fry captures her sitting but doing something like mending. But Love is also good.

    Vanessa Mending, because she was mending in more than one sense at this point.

    Was Fry married? If so I would call it 'The adulteress'.
