Description

Duncan Grant,

Tulips, 1929;  

oil on board, signed and dated lower left 'D. Grant 29', 75 x 56.5 cm (ARR)

private collection 

Exhibited: 
The London Artists' Association, London, c.1929-31, no.128 (according to the inscribed and stamped label attached to the reverse) 

Note: 
this is a brilliant example of the artist's most beloved subject of a still life with flowers and has been in the same private collection for nearly 50 years. This is an extremely exciting opportunity to purchase the work the first time it is coming to the market in nearly half a century. 

Duncan Grant was a central member of the Bloomsbury Group, closely associated with seminal figures in early 20th century British culture such as Virginia Woolf, Vanessa Bell, E.M. Forster and Lytton Strachey, alongside the art critic Roger Fry, the latter having a particularly strong impact on Grant's artistic approach. Grant's works can be found in a wide number of collections throughout the country, including the Tate Britain and the V&A in London, the Ashmolean Museum in Oxford and the Scottish National Gallery of Modern Art in Edinburgh. 

Grant was a member of the London Artists' Association between 1929-31, locating when this work was first shown to the public.
