The exhibition makes abundantly clear just how willing Vanessa Bell was to experiment with different arts and crafts, and how skilled she was with many materials and media. In Portrait of Molly MacCarthy (1914-15, private collection) she makes a 'radical departure' and plays with Cubism and collage, inspired by a visit to Picasso's studio in 1914. This is very similar to the Portrait of Molly MacCarthy (1912), an oil painting which is also in the exhibition; the pair are a  good illustration of Vanessa Bell's artistic and stylistic open-mindedness.
