For the first time since it opened to the public in 1977, the Center exhibited eighty of its greatest masterpieces outside the walls of the museum. The show, spanning four hundred years of British painting, was divided into thematic sections that illustrated the history of British culture and painting from the sixteenth century through modern times. The exhibition provided a narrative of Paul Mellon as a major collector of British art and highlighted his enormous contributions that established the museum’s collection.

Trained in Paris, first as an architect and later as a painter, Charles Ginner was particularly suited to the pictorial exploration of London’s streets and squares, a subject he pursued with increasing commitment from 1912 on. He, with his fellow Camden Town painter Harold Gilman, regarded his narratives as examples of “Neo-Realism,” a highly individualized stylistic philosophy that interpreted subjects “nearest our hearts, i.e., Life in all its effects, moods and developments.” Here, the small, regular touches of thick paint, reminiscent of densely worked embroidery, give an unexpected substance and weight to the mountains of vibrantly colored fruit, to the haphazardly hung awnings above, and to the precariously placed wooden crates below.

Trained in Paris first as an architect and later as a painter, Ginner was particularly suited to the pictorial exploration of London's streets and squares, a subject he pursued with increasing commitment from 1912 on. In the present picture he cleverly plays off itinerant stalls such as that of the fruit seller at the center against fixed store-fronts, some of whose painted awnings are visible at the right. Framed in the shadow of monumental buildings that tower over the street market on both sides, the central stalls seem to teeter on the brink of collapse, their awnings haphazardly posed and apparently ready to fall with the next strong gust of wind. The piles of vibrantly colored fruit carefully balanced atop wooden crates, themselves perilously poised on the uneven cobblestones, suggest the vitality and transience of the market. The whole scene is anchored, nevertheless, by the pole in the center of the canvas. ---
More than a glimpse at a moment in the life of workaday London, the painting is a meticulous study in textures, colors, and shapes. Ginner contrasts the lyrical volumes of the heaps of rounded, brightly colored fruit with the strict linearity of the more-or-less monochromatic paving stones and sidewalk. His heavily outlined figures seem fixed in place, each standing immobile, in its own spot, remote from the next. He shows the women from all views: back, profile, and front, each exhibited in turn from left to right. The forms and drapery of their heavy winter dresses and coats, the abstracted features of their faces, and their stiff gestures-especially those of the woman and child at the right, whose poses are nearly identical-are highly sculptural. In its rigidity the scene appears carefully choreographed; it is reminiscent of that frozen instant in the theater after the lights and curtain come up but before the actors move. Through his use of patterns and piled-up forms Ginner constructs a decorative frieze-like composition, one in which any sightline past the scene into the distance remains immutably blocked. ---
His tight-knit composition forces the viewer to revel in the visual splendor of his technique. In its insistence on form and on the plasticity of the paint, the image is highly self-conscious. Thickly applied in uniform meticulous strokes, the paint becomes an integral part of the composition; it traces Ginner's hand and eye, underlining the fact that this is not a simple, mimetic transcription of the market at King's Cross, but a pictorial rendering of the artist's individual vision of that scene. His technique is busy and robust, like his subject matter, suggesting a sincere, down-to-earth engagement with life's hustle and bustle. ---
His approach to his urban subjects owes much to the stylistic philosophy, called "Neo-Realism," that he and Harold Gilman developed in the early 1910s. In the manifesto on that subject (which they used as the introduction to their two-man show at Goupil's in 1914), Ginner explained: ---
[Neo-Realism] must interpret that which…ought to lie nearest our hearts, i. e., Life in all its effects, moods and developments. Each age has its landscape, its atmosphere, its cities, its people. Realism, loving Life, Loving its Age, interprets its Epoch by extracting from it the very essence of all it contains…according to the individual temperament…Neo-Realism must be a deliberate and objective transposition of the object under observation, which has for certain specific reasons appealed to the artist's ideal or mood, for self-expression.
