Grant, Duncan (James Corrowr) (1885–1978)

Scottish painter and designer. A pioneer of post-Impressionism in the UK, he was influenced by Paul Cezanne and the Fauves, and became a member of the Bloomsbury Group. He lived with the painter Vanessa Bell from about 1914 and worked with her on decorative projects, such as those at the Omega Workshops. Later works, such as Snow Scene (1921), show great fluency and a subtle use of colour.
