Categories: Literature

Known professionally as Clive Bell, he was an art critic and writer who married Vanessa Stephen, sister of Virginia Woolf. His Wikipedia page gives much information about this man.

Additionally we know from probate records that he died, one day after his 83rd birthday on 17 September 1964 at Fitzroy House, Fitzroy Square, London, W1 and that when probate was granted on 4 December 1964, jointly to Barclays Bank Limited and to his son Quentin Claudian Stephen Bell who was a professor of fine art, his effects totalled £47,380. His body was cremated on 21 September 1964 at the West London Crematorium, Kensal Green Cemetery, Harrow Road, London, NW10 5JS. 

He is shown as 'CLIVE BELL' on the Bloomsbury Group - Gordon Square memorial at 50 Gordon Square, London, WC1.
