Painter, teacher and traveller, associated with the Downshire Hill group of artists in London’s Hampstead. His brother was the writer Julian Duguid, author of Green Hell. After Harrow School and New College, Oxford, Duguid (pronounced Doogid) studied there with Sydney Carline at Ruskin School of Drawing in the late 1920s, then at Bauhaus in Germany with Josef Albers and Wassily Kandinsky, 1931–2. Duguid’s letters to the painter Richard Carline graphically illustrate the tense atmosphere at the Bauhaus between Nazis and Communists. In 1930 Duguid had sailed with Carline to Venezuela on one of the last square-rigged ships, Grace Harwar. Duguid worked and taught in Chile from 1936–48. He showed at Goupil Gallery, RA, LG and contributed to an exhibition of Black art at Adams Gallery in 1935.
