context_page_description: Angelica Vanessa Garnett, née Bell, was a British writer, painter and artist. She was the author of the memoir Deceived with Kindness, an account of her experience growing up at the heart of the Bloomsbury Group.
context_section_description: After the end of her marriage, Angelica Garnett moved to Islington, north London.  She moved back to Charleston after the death of Duncan Grant in 1978, before moving to nearby Ringmer and then to France. Garnett had spent long parts of her childhood staying in the south of France, mostly at Cassis, near Marseilles.
  Garnett was actively involved in the efforts that saw Charleston restored and opened to the public as a museum.  She advised on the reconstruction of its fabrics, and on the selection and application of pigments; also talking at festivals and giving fund-raising lectures, including in America. In 1994 she donated more than 8000 sketches and drawings by Duncan Grant and Vanessa Bell to The Charleston Trust.
  Angelica Garnett continued to paint, developing a reputation, mostly for still lifes, and exhibiting in Europe and America. She also worked with mosaics, designed book jackets and textiles, decorated pots, and, in the 1980s, began to create sculptures using found objects and materials.
  The last 30 years of her life were spent in Forcalquier in the south of France. Angelica Garnett died in Aix-en-Provence on 4 May 2012.
