Notes |
- studied art at the Slade School and in Italy and Paris . He was a cousin (and for some time a lover) of Lytton Strachey
Through the Stracheys Duncan was introduced to the Bloomsbury Group, where Maynard Keynes became one of his lovers.
Though essentially homosexual , he became the lover of Vanessa Bell and lived with her and her two sons by her husband Clive Bell from before the start of the First World War . In 1916 they moved to the house named Charleston near Firle in Sussex . Duncan and Vanessa painted in Charleston and decorated the house itself with their paintings, and Clive stayed with them for long periods fairly often -- sometimes accompanied by his own mistress, Mary Hutchinson.
Although it is generally assumed that Duncan's sexual relations with Vanessa ended in the months before their daughter Angelica was born (Christmas, 1918 ), they continued to live together until Vanessa's death in 1961, with Duncan staying on at Charleston until shortly before his own death in 1978.
Living with Vanessa was apparently no impediment to Duncan's relationships with men, either before or after Angelica was born. (Angelica grew up believing that Clive Bell was her father; she bore his surname and his behaviour toward her never indicated otherwise). Duncan and Vanessa had an open relationship , although she herself apparently never took advantage of this after settling down with him and giving birth to their daughter. He was the great love of her life and she understood that if she was to keep him at Charleston with her she would have to allow him this freedom. The pain this decision cost her is related in Angelica's memoir, Deceived With Kindness. Duncan, in contrast, had many purely physical affairs and several serious relationships with other men such as George Bergen.
Grant worked with, and was influenced by, another member of the group, Roger Fry , who was also a former lover of Vanessa's. As well as painting landscapes and portraits , Fry designed textiles and ceramics.
In Grant's later years, the poet Paul Roche , whom he had known since 1946, went to considerable effort in looking after him. Grant eventually died in Roche's home in 1978.
Duncan Grant is buried beside Vanessa Bell in the churchyard of St. Peter's Church, West Firle, East Sussex.
