India and the Punjab – Mahatma Gandhi A rare large portrait drawing from life of Mahatma Gandhi by Clare Winsten c1930. Provenance – from the estate of Clare Winsten’s daughter Ruth Harrison. Drawing titled – Gandhi Meditation. A very rare drawing of the great Mahatma Gandhi (1869-1948) is often referred to as the father of the Indian Nation. Clare Winsten (1894-1989) was an Anglo-Jewish artist illustrator portraitist and sculptor. Clare Winsten came to the Slade as a student in 1910 the year when Roger Fry’s “Manet and the Post-Impressionists” exhibition changed the views of many artists in London and caused others dismay as life-long convictions were brusquely challenged. She showed academic and artistic talent early at school gaining a scholarship to the Female School of Art. The artist`s daughter Theodora recalls my parents life-time active involvement in social humanitarian causes as well as the arts brought them into touch with likeminded people from many spheres. This affinity produced portraits of among others D H Lawrence Montessori Catherine Lonsdale Mahatma Gandhi Bernard Shaw.... My parents first met Mahatma Gandhi in the 1930s when living at Hampstead (and this) led to a remarkable series of paintings and drawings. There was such an empathy between them that Clare was invited to be there whenever she wanted She also sketched Gandhi during his visit to England for the Round Table Conference of 1930-31. Pencil on woven paper 11 x 13 inches image. 12 x 15.25 inches in frame overall. A very rare drawing of Gandhi from life.
