 | | Grant was born in Rothiemurchus near Inverness, Scotland and studied art at the Slade School and in Italy and Paris. | | | Duncan and Vanessa painted in Charleston and decorated the house itself with their paintings, and Vanessa's husband Clive Bell stayed with them for long periods fairly often. | | | 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. |

| | Duncan Grant |
| | As his introduction reveals, he was fascinated by his great-grandparents — William Grant, who practised medicine and whose writings on fever were translated into both German and French; and his wife Elizabeth, a plain, short, warm-hearted and quick-tempered woman who, though musical and accomplished, had a touch of coarseness in her nature. | | | In it Elizabeth Grant tells of her childhood and adolescence in Rothiemurchus and elsewhere, and of her father's attempts to pursue his legal and political ambitions and to improve the family fortunes. | | | It seemed to the four-year-old Duncan that the eighty-two-year-old laird paid less attention to him than to Walter Scott's slow-moving plots, which wove themselves into the pattern of his days through the medium of the female voice, for his wife, daughters and daughter-in-law were his readers. |

| | When the plot began to unravel, he made his escape with a couple of his co-consiprators, and he returned to his manor home where he was blinded when wet gunpowder that he and his fellows were drying near the fire, exploded. | | | William Grant founded the William T. Grant Foundation and dedicated much of his life, and fortune, to philanthropical efforts, though after his death his department stores folded in the biggest retail bankruptcy in history. | | | Recognized for his suave and debonair persona both on-screen and off, while not a "true" Grant by birth, his name became legendary around the world, and today is almost synonymous for sophistication and "style" - we'll take him. |

| | Although not dated, this intensely coloured, witty little painting would seem close in style and feeling to Grant’s other work in and around 1919, such as, for example, Venus and Adonis 1919 (Tate Gallery). | | | With its framing of draped curtains, landscape backdrop and still-life props, this painting takes on a distinctly theatrical character that is further emphasised by the flat two-dimensional patterning of the picture-surface, all part of Grant’s sensual playing with those fundamentals of Modernism - colour and mark. | | | In the same year, he had also seen, and found exhilarating, Derain’s sets for Diaghilev’s London production of La Boutique Fantasque. |
