Earlier this year the great English painter Duncan Grant died at the age of 93. A memorial service held at St Paul's was addressed by Lord Clark and tonight BBC2 pays its own tribute with this film.
Charleston was the Sussex home of Duncan Grant for over 60 years. He moved there to create with Vanessa Bell a haven where the good things in life could be enjoyed in peace and harmony.
Quentin Bell , the biographer of Virginia Woolf and son of Vanessa and Clive Bell , is the interviewer in this film which ranges over the artist's career, from Victorian schooldavs to an Indian Summer, as a painter who gave immense pleasure in all his work.
