About the artist
Born in Cannes, France, on March 4, 1878, Charles Ginner eventually became a central figure within the Camden Town Group in England. After spending nearly ten years in Paris, Ginner moved to London where his knowledge of modern European art distinguished him among his peers. Malcolm Drummond's iconic 1911 portrait, unveiled at the group's second exhibition, portrays Ginner as a nonchalant, stylish artist. Despite spending his later years in England, Ginner proudly maintained his French accent.
