“Ingse” Ingeborg Gude Caprino (31 August 1890 – 9 December 1963) was a Norwegian artist, puppet maker and author.
Biography[edit]
Gude was born in Oybin, Saxony. Her parents were the diplomat Ove Gude (1853–1910) and “Lilly” Luise, née Egeberg (1856-1900). She had older brothers and a younger sister, “Simba” Sigrid (1892–1988).[1] The prominent painter Hans Gude (1825-1903) had been her grandfather, the painter Nils Gude (1859-1908) her uncle. After the death of her mother, Elna de Stjernholm (1870–1954) became her stepmother. Ingeborg Gude was raised in London, Madrid, Copenhagen, Berlin and Washington, D.C. After her father's death, her stepmother moved to Rome with the girls.[2]
In Italy she married the artist and furniture designer Mario Caprino (1881–1959) in 1912. Caprino's father was a judge at the Supreme Court of Italy. After World War I they moved to Kristiania (Oslo), where Mario Caprino became the Italian vice consul. The son Ivo Caprino was born in 1920. The family was living at Snarøen Hovedgård on Snarøya peninsula since 1921.[3] The historic manor house was destroyed by fire in 1923, but had been rebuilt. Gude divorced Caprino around 1927 and married the painter Bernhard Folkestad (1879–1933). After his death, she lived with the painter and art critic Pola Gauguin (1883–1961) and for a long time with her sister and brother-in-law.
Ingeborg Gude had a short debut as a film actress in Himmeluret (The Clock of Heaven) in 1925, directed by Amund Rydland and Leif Sinding. After her second marriage, she began to paint. Until 1947 she provided illustrations for the Dagbladet. Gude's first book was published in 1941. After a children's book, she published drawings and caricatures from the German occupation of Norway during World War II. In 1944 Gude was the first woman to take part in the meetings of the Visens Venner group (friends of tradidional songs). She wrote several songs with content against the German and Norwegian Nazis.
After the war, Gude made some puppets for a production by Frithjof Tidemand-Johannessen. Her son Ivo Caprino used the surplus puppets as inspiration for his first animated film, Tim and Tøffe (1948). He set up a film studio in the manor house. Gude started working full-time on new puppets, which had often luscious proportions. The facial skin was created with condoms. Her son became successful with his puppet and adventure films. The film Veslefrikk med fela (Little Frikk with the violin) was awarded the best children's film at the 13th Venice International Film Festival in 1952. The commissioned production Den steadhaftige tinnsoldat (The Steadfast Tin Soldier) won several international awards.[3]
Gude was involved in all of her son's films until 1963. For her last film she became cinematographer, the speaking role was played by Liv Strømsted. The production of puppets was later taken over by her granddaughter Ivonne Caprino (born 1954). Her sister's son-in-law Bjarne Sandemose (1924–2013) became one of Ivo Caprino's most important employees.[3]
Ingeborg Gude Caprino died 9 December 1963 at Snarøya. She was buried in her grandfather's family grave in the honorary burial section of Vår Frelsers Gravlund.
