Duncan
Grant British painter, decorator and designer Duncan Grant cousin to Lytton Strachey lover of Vanessa Bell, David "Bunny" Garnet, J.M Keynes... Father of Angelica Bell Duncan Grant was a central figure in the Bloomsbury group. He studied at Westminster and the Slade School of Art. Moved to 21 Fitzroy Square in 1909 and thereafter became a regular at Virginia and Adrian's Thursday evening gatherings. Sharing with Roger Fry and Vanessa Bell a commitment to the decorative arts as well as to painting on canvas, he became the co-director of the Omega Workshops in 1913. By all accounts a handsome, kind and charming person, his lovers included Adrian Stephen, Maynard Keynes and David Garnett; he was also courted by his cousin Lytton Strachey. Though his sexual orientation remained homosexual throughout his life, he was the father of Vanessa Bell's daughter Angelica, and lived for many years at Charleston farm with the Bell family.
