Art of Duncan Grant by Simon Watney

by Simon Watney

When Duncan Grant died in 1978 at the age of 92, he had lived long enough to witness the beginnings of a revival of serious interest in his work. Now, more than two decades later, he is established as one of the most gifted and innovative of 20th- century British artists. The astonishing variety of styles and techniques that make up his oeuvre provide a particularly rich field for critical attention. Throughout his life, Grant adapted to the widest possible range of media, from interior decoration to fabric design, theater work, ceramics, printmaking, murals, and easel painting. This handsomely illustrated volume offers the first opportunity to grasp the overall achievements of Grant’s career in all its richness and diversity.

Duncan's life was fascinating but I am not fond of most of his art. I did, however, want to see it all.
