About

Why this artist matters now

Duncan James Corrowr Grant was a Scottish painter and designer of textiles, pottery, theatre sets, and costumes. He was a member of the Bloomsbury Group. His father was Bartle Grant, a "poverty-stricken" major in the army, and much of his early childhood was spent in India and Burma. He was a grandson of Sir John Peter Grant GCMG KCB, 12th Laird of Rothiemurchus and sometime Lieutenant-Governor of Bengal.
