Virginia Woolf’s writings on art, though significant, have not been collected in an accessible volume until now. This edition brings together her longest essay, “Walter Sickert: A Conversation” (1934), and shorter pieces like “Pictures and Portraits” (1920) and “Pictures” (1925). These essays reveal Woolf’s deep engagement with modern art, color, and form, influenced by her sister Vanessa Bell’s paintings. Woolf explores the complex relationship between artists and society, reflecting on social and political change, while offering sharp insights into specific works of art and the connection between visual art and writing.
