拍品描述
DUNCAN GRANT (BRITISH 1885-1978) DESIGN FOR ROUNDEL Pencil and watercolour 46.5 x 46.5cm (18? x 18? in.) Grant's interest in the decorative arts began very early in his career and became an integral part of his artistic output. In 1913, he co-founded The Omega Workshops along with Roger Fry and Vanessa Bell with the aim of breaking down the barriers between so-called fine and decorative art and bringing art into everyday life. So began Grant's long association with design and decoration. As well as fuelling the imagination, Omega provided an alternative source of income for many artists of the day, particularly fellow members of the Bloomsbury Group, including Virginia Woolf, Clive Bell and Ethel Sands. Omega produced a wide range individually designed and produced items ranging from furniture, ceramics, murals, stained glass and textiles. Although The Omega Workshops closed in 1919 due to financial troubles, Grant's interest in the decorative arts was now firmly part of his artistic oeuvre. In 1918, along with Edward Wolfe, he was commissioned by John Maynard Keynes to decorate the doors, fireplace and shutters of the first floor sitting room at 46 Gordon Square. Again in 1920, Keynes commissioned Grant, this time alongside Vanessa Bell, to produce eight panels for his residence at Webb Court, King's College, Cambridge. When Vanessa Bell rented Charleston farmhouse in East Sussex in 1916, the house and its interiors become a canvas on which Grant and Bell could express their creativity. Tables, chairs, bookcases, walls, lampshades, headboards - all became covered with the inimitable swirling designs of the two artists. The present table and associated design (lot 103) most probably date from the 1940s or 1950s and demonstrate Grant's continued interest in furniture design into later life. We are grateful to Richard Shone for his kind assistance in cataloguing this work.
