Description

Bohemia is a hard country to place, yet it was utterly familiar to the people who inhabited it from the turn of the century until the outbreak of World War II, a place where to be different was to be accepted. Here artists felt at home and among friends - some rich, some poor, talented and untalented, who believed in friendship more than family and who by their very differences proclaimed to be part of a confederacy. Among these self-styled bohemians were Ralph Partridge, Nancy Nicholson, Arthur Ransome, Rupert Brooke, Virginia Woolfe, Duncan Grant, Katherine Mansfield, and Dylan and Caitlin Thomas - and many others in this expanding circle of talented individuals. These people were in the avant-garde not only for their art, but possibly even more significantly, for a new kind of social life which has become so accepted today that we barely notice how utterly we have assimilated it and made it our own.
