Paper. Condition: Good. First Edition. An Original Handwritten and Signed Letter by Bloomsbury Artist Duncan Grant to Interior Designer Sarah Hamilton Discussing a Visit to the Picasso Retrospective at the Tate Gallery, London. Dated 1960. Duncan James Grant 1885-1978 was a Scottish painter and designer of textiles, pottery, theatre sets, and costumes. He was a member of the Bloomsbury Group. Grant became involved in the Bloomsbury Group, where he made many such great friends including Vanessa Bell. He would eventually live with Vanessa Bell who, though she was a married woman, fell deeply in love with him and, one night, succeeded in seducing him; Bell very much wanted a child by Grant, and she became pregnant in the spring of 1918. Although it is generally assumed that Grant's sexual relations with Bell ended in the months before the child was born they continued to live together for more than 40 years. Size is 178m x 115mm.
