January, 1885, died at Aldermaston, 9th. May, 1978. British painter. He was first brought up in India and Burma where his father was posted as an army officer. While at St Paul's school, London, he was brought up by his uncle and aunt Sir Richard and Lady Strachey. He enrolled at the Westminster School of Art in 1902, and he studied briefly at the Slade School of Art in London. He moved to Paris and in 1906 he enrolled at Jacques-Emile Blanche's school, La Palette, and copied paintings in the Louvre. While in Paris he made friends with Gertrude Stein. He travelled with John Maynard Keynes to Italy, Greece, and Turkey. They were lovers and this may have been the most significant homosexual relationship for both men. Murals In 1911 Duncan Grant worked on his first major commission. Along with other artists he collaborated on a series of murals for the refectory of Borough Polytechnic (now South Bank University) in south London. His two panels Bathing and Football are in the Tate Gallery, London. The panel Bathing shows the progress of a naked man diving, swimming, and climbing into a boat, as if it were a series of photographic exposures. The art critic of The Times thought that the mural could have a "degenerative influence on the children of the working classes". Duncan Grant was associated with Roger Fry's Omega Workshops from 1913 to 1919, and later with the London Group. Through his cousin Lytton Strachey he became friends with many people in the Bloomsbury Group.
