As a young dealer, excavating the histories of hitherto unknown women artists offers a route into an otherwise mercilessly competitive field, bringing fresh material and new perspectives: “You are at the coalface of art history - it’s an interesting space to be,” he says.
He will offer, among other finds, a drawing, “They Say the Flowers But Sleep in Winter - Awaiting The Spring”, by Violet Brunton (1878-1951), an aspiring sculptor who turned after the first world war to miniature painting. He says, “I think it is a great moment of art history, and as a dealer you can be at the forefront of change.”ĭominic Sanchez-Cabello, exhibiting at London Art Week as Dominic Fine Art, agrees. Elliott says, “You are often the first person to look properly at their work for a hundred years.” As part of Colnaghi Elliott Master Drawings, a new partnership between Elliott and the venerable Colnaghi gallery, he will show an accomplished pastel by the little-known Marguerite Dubois, drawn in 1907 when she studied at the Académie Julian.

This period coincides with the establishment of London’s Slade art school in 1871, the first to allow full access for women students to the life model, and also with the opening of life-drawing classes to women in Paris, at Charles Chaplin’s studio and the women’s section of the private Académie Julian. Will Elliott is a young dealer who, through Elliott Fine Art, specialises in rescuing from neglect important works by lesser-known figures, largely from the unfashionable final quarter of the 19th century.
It is not just a case of rediscovering, but of repositioning - so many were described as ‘sister of’, ‘wife of’, ‘partner of’.” It is not just the field of Modern British that is benefiting from years of focused scholarship into women artists, and where there is new interest, there is potential to create new value in otherwise sluggish sectors of the market. Ellie Smith, researcher at Old Master and British Art dealership Philip Mould, says, “It is a real trend at the moment among galleries to take women artists more seriously.
