Abstract

From the 19th century to the 20th century, the adoption process of modernism paintings born in the romantic landscape of France was long and tortuous due to the British who were advocating the Anglo-Saxon spirit. From the initial rejection to the later entry into the public collection field, the British aesthetic taste and various factors were intertwined and mutually promoted. The Bloomsbury group offered significant references to the issues of how intellectuals intervene in the public cultural field and how foreign culture is transformed into the popular art of the receiving country. Aiming to reveal the rule of adopting French modernism paintings art by the elite class, public opinion leading figures, and other factors in Britain (1876-1948), this paper analyses Bloomsbury’s specific performance, group member’s interaction, and social activity.
