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.

His body was cremated on 21 September 1964 at the West London Crematorium, Kensal Green Cemetery, Harrow Road, London, NW10 5JS.
