Thread: Duncan Grant (1885-1978) was born on this day. He is best known as a member of the Bloomsbury group but came into his own as a painter who achieved ground breaking avant garde works in his early years & who created art informed by his sexuality
Thread: I’m still not sorted with my new studio. (Don’t mention the war!) In the meantime I’ve got a Studio Sale to slim things down. It’s restricted to UK & Irish residents only. Other areas can buy directly from my Etsy shop.

Mary Swanzy (1882-1978) was an interesting artist who at first worked her way through a series of other’s styles before finally finding her feet in the 1940s & exploring her own intense version of Expressionism. Ebb Tide (1941), Revolution (1942) & Untitled (1940s?)
Thread: Stanley Spencer (1891-1959) was an eccentric English painter whose work has not received the attention it deserves. He painted unique religious paintings & idiosyncratic nudes, scenes & portaits. His was a unique voice in English art! Take a look!
More history paintings. The final one here is St Sebastian. The Saint has been used since the time of Michelangelo & Perugino as a way of expressing homosexuality. Nowadays with rampant homophobia & Transphobia its vital that we celebrate & acknowledge the voice of Philpot.
