The later years
As well as developing his own painting (he had his first one-man exhibition in 1920 and his work was exhibited regularly until 1977), Grant and Bell were in great demand to
paint murals and decorations.
Duncan Grant enjoyed a reputation as one of the most important British Artists until the late 1930s though the closeness of pre-war Bloomsbury was essentially over.
Vanessa and Grant also travelled widely in Europe and spent much of their time living in Cassis in the South of France.
After Bell's death he continued painting, dividing his time between Charleston and London and also travelling to Turkey, Morocco and France. He died in 1978 of pneumonia.
