Mary Hutchinson : 91�Թ��, Aiming to capture all memorials in London

Person | Female Born 29/3/1889 Died 17/4/1977

Mary Hutchinson

Short-story writer, socialite, model (for painters) and a member of the Bloomsbury Group.

Born as Mary Barnes in British India. Brought up in Italy and moved to London in 1909. Married barrister St John Hutchinson in 1910. That same year her half-cousin Lytton Strachey and Duncan Grant introduced her to the Bloomsbury Group. She became a hostess and patroness, hosting lavish soirees.

Had many lovers including Clive Bell 1914 - 27, brief liaisons with Vita Sackville-West and Matisse's son-in-law, Georges Duthuit. Her friendships with Aldous Huxley and his wife, Virginia Woolf and T. S. Eliot and his wife were very close. With these people it's difficult to know how much to read into "close relationship"!

Died London.
