Bell, (Arthur) Clive Heward 1881-1964
English art and literary critic
He studied at Trinity College, Cambridge, and stated his aesthetic theory of Significant Form in Art (1914). Another version of this was formulated in 1920 by Roger Fry, a fellow-member of the Bloomsbury Group, described in his Old Friends (1956). His critical essays include Since Cézanne (1922), Civilization (1928), Proust (1929) and An Account of French Painting (1931). In 1907 he married Vanessa Bell, sister of Virginia Woolf and daughter of Sir Leslie Stephen. Their son Julian (1908-37), also a writer, was killed in the Spanish Civil War.
