Pallid bio of Intriguing PainterBy A CustomerIn many ways the painter Duncan Grant is one of the most intriguing members of the Bloomsbury group. A homosexual; he was lover to many of the celebrated male members of that circle: Lytton Strachey; Maynard Keynes; etc. Yet he also chose to live for 40 years with; ( father a child by); the painter Vanessa Bell. Frances Spalding has perviously written an admirable bio of V. Bell; Grants family asked her to tackle Grant; with lukewarm results. To me; the process of painting is unexplainable; the best attempt ever written; to my mind; is Maughams "Moon Sixpence;"; Spaldings attempts at describing Grants artistic processes fall flat; frankly are boring. More interesting to me are the almost incredible personal events that swirled around Grant; That notable procession of lovers; the extraordinary relationship with Bell; the bizarre fact that Grant had affairs with his Daughters uncle; future husband; lover! What did Duncan Grant have that so many people wanted? What did he really think of the curious relationship between himself Bell their daughter Angelica (who did not know till she was 18 that she was his daughter.) Why would a woman like Vanessa Bell essentially give up her sexual life to live with Grant? And why did Grant; an enthusiastic homosexual; choose to devote a major portion of his life to this woman? Spalding had complete access to Grants papers letters; but her feeble attempts to explain Grants character (beyond his apparent physical beauty; he is called "charming" so many times that I lost count) are pallid. Prehaps; in the end; apart from Grants enormous talent for painting-and we get a rather niggardly peek at the work-there was no "there there." Read Spaldings "Vanessa Bell: A Biography" for a sharper view of the people events surrounding Grants unusual life; "Duncan Grant" is a disappointment.5 of 9 people found the following review helpful. An excellent biography; a pleasure to readBy A CustomerMarvellous; Spaldings skill is to sketch out the intricate emotional web against the bright bold untouchable figure of the artist. Her achievement is to let that sense of a man living with a craft shine through on every page: the result in an exceptionally honest and warm portrait. Her tone is objective but sympathetic and generous. This biography accomplishes what is; or should be; the biographers highest goal: it does not come between the reader and the subject.
