Dear Chris Hansen
I am one of Curtis Gandy's grandsons. Have done quite a bit of research on his life. For one thing in 1896 he was one of the founders of the Pallet and Chisel Club in Chicago. He was the treasurer , paid the rent and hired the models. I believe that one of those models was my grandmother. At the time Curtis Gandy was married and had two daughters, Irma and Gladys. I recently donated one of his paintings to the organization which has evolved into the Pallet and Chisel Academy of Fine Arts.
Please contact me if you want more information including copies of the writeups about him in an 1896 Art magazine.
Where he was born and where he is interred. etc,
