Charleston, a Sussex farmhouse, was the home of Duncan Grant and Vanessa Bell and a country retreat for writers, intellectuals, philosophers and artists in the early 20th century associated with the Bloomsbury Group - including Virginia Woolf, John Maynard Keynes, E. M. Forster, Vanessa Bell, and Lytton Strachey. Duncan Grant decorated the whole house in the same style.

Artist: Henry Lamb (Australian, 1883–1960)

Date: 1914

Medium: Oil on canvas

Collection: TATE Britain

Description

Giles Lytton Strachey (1880-1932) was a critic and biographer who established a reputation with his book 'Eminent Victorians', published in 1918. He was one of the members of the so-called Bloomsbury Group, which included the writer Virginia Woolf and the painters Roger Fry, Vanessa Bell and Duncan Grant. Lamb painted a small portrait of Strachey in his studio in the Vale of Health, Hampstead in 1912, and then painted this grand larger version two years later. Strachey once said that he was unable to lift a match before breakfast and this portrait shows him in a typically languid pose.

Grant was a central figure in the circle of artist and writers known as Bloomsbury, which included Grant's cousin Lytton Strachey, Maynard Keynes, Roger Fry, Virginia and Leonard Woolf, Virginia's sister the painter Vanessa Bell and Vanessa's husband the critic Clive Bell. Grant and Vanessa Bell were closely associated in their professional and personal lives for more than fifty years. In 1913 Roger Fry founded the Omega Workshops, of which Grant and Vanessa Bell were directors. The workshops produced furniture, pottery and textiles designed by various young artists including Grant and Bell themselves.

My portrait of Lytton Strachey and Duncan Grant, drawn on a piece of driftwood which I found on the beach. Where to start explaining my fascination for Strachey and Grant? Both author Lytton Strachey (1880-1932) - best known for his 'Eminent Victorians' - and his cousin, painter Duncan Grant (1885-1978) were members of the famous Bloomsbury Group. As was the case with most of the Bloomsbury people, they were connected to each other by a diversity of complex emotions - about which I'm currently reading in Michael Holroyd's magnificent Strachey-biography. I don't think I've ever read such a wonderful and absorbing biography before - it literally makes my heart ache.

George Mallory in a photo by Duncan Grant. 1912. The greatest mountaineer of the first few decades of the twentieth century. Recently a trove of letters between himself and Lytton Strachey have come to light, with some very homoerotic writing. Mallory, when asked “Why do you want to climb Everest?” famously said “Because, it’s there “
