Scottish artist Duncan Grant was BOTD in 1885. Born in Rothiemurchus in Aviemore, he was raised in India and Burma where his father was a major in the British Army. He returned to England to be educated, studying at the Westminster School of Art and the Slade, followed by a year in Paris where he met Gertrude Stein and Henri Matisse. In 1909, he moved to London, sharing rooms with his friend and occasional lover John Maynard Keynes. Through his cousin (and then-boyfriend) Lytton Strachey, Duncan met Virginia Woolf and Vanessa Bell, and became the lover of their brother Adrian. He was commissioned by Bell’s husband Roger Fry to redecorate the Borough Polytechnic, and later became co-director of the Omega Workshops with Fry and Bell, producing textiles and ceramics in bright modernist patterns inspired by Post-Impressionist and Fauvist art. He began a relationship with Bell, eventually living with her and her two sons with Fry’s tacit approval. To avoid conscription during World War Two, Grant and Bell moved to Charleston House in Sussex where they worked as artists while pretending to be fruit farmers. Grant’s lover David “Bunny” Garnett also moved in, creating an uneasy ménage à trois with Bell. In 1918, Bell gave birth to Grant’s daughter Angelica, who was raised believing she was Fry’s child. Angelica was finally told that Grant was her father when she was 18, and married Garnett shortly afterwards, unaware that he had been Grant’s lover. Grant lived with Bell until her death in 1961. In his later years, he was cared for by his lover the poet Paul Roche, a relationship that endured despite Roche’s marriage and five children. He died in 1978, aged 93. He received a posthumous hatchet job in Angelica’s 1984 memoir Deceived With Kindness, in which she Grant’s and Bell’s dysfunctional relationship, and her fury at being deceived about her parentage and Grant and Garnett’s secret relationship. Grant’s artistic reputation has increased since his death, as the queer legacy of the Bloomsbury Group has become more fashionable. He has been portrayed on screen many times, most recently by James Norton and Rupert Henry-Jones in the 2015 TV series Life in Squares.
