Reclining Female Nude
By Emil Ganso
Located in Fairlawn, OH
Reclining Female Nude
Charcoal on paper, c. 1933
Signed lower right (see photo)
Provenance:
Weyhe Gallery, New York (Ganso's dealer 1925-1941)
Joseph Mark Erdelac, Cleveland, noted collector who had a large collection of Ganso works
Ganso was born in Germany in 1895. At age 14, he apprenticed to a baker and then worked his way to America when he was 17. He worked in bakeries in Scranton, Pennsylvania; and Cincinnati and Akron, Ohio. By 1916, Ganso out of a job, and was living the life of a bohemian in New York City, sometimes on less than 30 cents a week.1
In 1921, Ganso painted a realistic nude on a bedsheet, and was forced by the police to remove it from an exhibition. The bedsheet with the painting was later stolen. He soon had a job baking again at $140 a month, and with time to spare for painting and study. Ganso quit baking in 1925 when a New York dealer gave him financial backing of $50 a week. Ganso prospered from his art after that.
His work is in over 15 American museums, and the Print Club of Cleveland awarded him a $500 purchase prize for a wood engraving. A versatile artist, he painted a variety of subjects.
