Sculpture: â–² Audrey Blackman (1907-1990), The Dove Bronze Signed and dated on base, 1934 84cm high by 22cm by 31cm, Blackman was an established female sculptor with affinities to both Aristide Maillol and Charles Despiau. Her sculpture appears classical at first glance but is intensely modern in its rejection of anatomical academicism in favour of the expression of emotion. The classical pose is here re-interpreted through a sensitive portrayal of the intimate focus of the figure dwelling on the dove that sits in her hand. The texture of the surface makes no pretension to naturalism, and the treatment of the figure’s hair is further stylized in a manner that relates to the Art Deco aesthetic prevalent in Europe at that time., Born in London, née Seligman, Blackman studied at Goldsmith’s College of Art, 1926-1930, and Reading University Art School 1931-1935. She exhibited regularly at Royal Academy; National Society of Painters, Sculptors, and Engravers; Society of Women Artists; as well as participating in various national and international exhibitions. She also became renowned for her work in pottery and ceramic and developed a fine type of porcelain known today as Audrey Blackman Porcelain., The artist’s work is now represented in several public collections., Literature: Dictionary of Western Sculptors in Bronze, James Mackay, 1977; Dictionary of British Artists Working 1900-1950, Grant Waters, 1975; Dictionary of British Artists 1880-1940, J.
