GINNER (CHARLES)

Drawing entitled "Los Indios En El Gran Chaco", signed and dated "Charles Ginner/ 28.VII.1912", on a page taken from an autograph book, pencil and coloured crayon, 98 x 145mm., 28 July 1912

Footnotes

This unusual drawing by Charles Ginner (1878-1952) is quite unlike much of the artist's traditional output and was removed from an autograph book belonging to Norah Duval, a member of a militant suffragette family, who was incarcerated in Holloway, and was a recipient of the Hunger Strike Medal. The album bears the address in North Allerton of the art critic Frank Rutter (1876-1937), a long-time friend of the Duval family, and with whom Duval stayed whilst he was curator of the Leeds Art Gallery. In 1908 Rutter founded the Allied Artist's Association, in order to help artists such as Charles Ginner, with whom he worked closely on the hanging committee of the third Allied Artist's Exhibition in 1910. In July 1917, with Harold Gilman, he co-published the journal Arts and Letters.

Provenance: Norah Duval; Hankinson-Goode Collection (see Bonhams, Women Through History sale, 23 March 2022).

Saleroom notices

We are grateful to Dr Wendy Baron who has pointed out that this drawing relates to Ginner's large-scale scheme of June 1912 for Madame Strindberg's cabaret club, The Cave of the Golden Calf, and is not listed in Ginner's notebooks.
