Charles GINNER
The artist was born in Cannes, South of France. A visitor to Cornwall from Hampstead, London in the early 1920s, Ginner returned upon occasion later. He was known to have been painting at Porthleven c1922, and exhibited regularly in the London Salon. Two of his paintings, The Mullion Wireless (1921) and St Just in Penwith (1923) show a modern realist approach to landscape painting and clarity of colour thickly applied. These two were included in the 1987 Looking West Exhibition sponsored by NAG and the RCA.
