              Duncan Grant,  British 1885-1978 -  Vanessa Bell (with 'Study for portrait of Vanessa Bell' on the reverse), c.1916;  pencil on paper, inscribed with number on the reverse '24 AO 1522b', 52.5 x 37.5 cm (ARR)  Provenance:  with Davis & Langdale Company, Inc., New York, no.DLA-2541 (according to a copy of the original label attached to the frame);  a private collector of Bloomsbury related art  Exhibited:  Davis & Langdale Company, Inc., New York, 'Duncan Grant (1885-1978)', 1st February-15th March 1997, cat. no.8  (according to a copy of the original label attached to the frame) Note:  this double-sided drawing is likely a pair of studies for the series of three paintings Grant made of Vanessa Bell in an evening dress made of red paisley fabric around 1916. Two of these paintings are now in public collections; the National Portrait Gallery, London and the artists' home at Charleston.  Duncan Grant was a central member of the Bloomsbury Group, closely associated with seminal figures in early 20th century British culture such as Virginia Woolf, Vanessa Bell, E.M. Forster and Lytton Strachey, alongside the art critic Roger Fry, the latter having a particularly strong impact on Grant's artistic approach. Grant's works can be found in a wide number of collections throughout the country, including the Tate Britain and the V&A in London, the Ashmolean Museum in Oxford and the Scottish National Gallery of Modern Art in Edinburgh.  Davis & Langdale Company have historically had a special interest interest in the work of Modern British artists, holding the first solo exhibitions in the USA of Gwen John in 1965, Duncan Grant in 1975 and Vanessa Bell in 1980.

Grant used this compositional device of placing a still life in front of an image of a nude throughout his career, for example 'Mimosa, 1930' and 'Still Life with Matisse, 1971'. The wilting tulips echo the folds of the nude, creating a natural rhythmic quality to the work. The late 50s were important for the artist as a large retrospective of his work was held at the Tate in 1959.  Duncan Grant was a central member of the Bloomsbury Group, closely associated with seminal figures in early 20th century British culture such as Virginia Woolf, Vanessa Bell, E.M. Forster and Lytton Strachey, alongside the art critic Roger Fry, the latter having a particularly strong impact on Grant's artistic approach.

Property from the Collection of Douglas Turnbaugh Provenance: The Artist Collection of Paul Roche Acquired from the above by the present owner Duncan Grant, a prominent figure in the Bloomsbury Group was a painter, designer, and an influential member of the 20th century British modernist movement. His canvases, often resonating with elements of Post-Impressionism and Cubism, reflect his bold exploration of form and color. Beyond his paintings, Grant's influence extended to decorative arts and interior design. Duncan was linked artistically and romantically to Vanessa Bell, Virginia Woolf's sister, who was an equally influential member of the Bloomsbury Group. They worked together on interior designs, including their famous home in Charleston, Sussex, which became a vibrant hub for the Bloomsbury Group's gatherings. Despite Grant's open homosexuality, the two continued to live and work together until Vanessa's death in 1961. Paul Roche cared for the artist in his later years and was co-heir of his estate.
