Dora Gordine (British, 1906-1991), a bronze portrait head of a child, with dark brown patination, mounted to a wooden plinth base, signed by the artist and stamped Valsuani foundry mark, the head alone 20cm high 32 x 14cm (12 x 5in) Literature: Illustrated in Dora Gordine by Brenda Martin. Publ. Bond & Coyne Association 2005. Dora Gordine : sculptor, artist, designer by Jonathan Black and Brenda Martin 2007 Born in Estonia, Dora Gordine (1895 - 1991) achieved critical acclaim in 1926 with her bronze Head of a Chinese Philosopher exhibited at the Salon des Tuileries. She married Richard Hare and in the 1930s they built Dorich House in Kingston, South West London where she lived until her death in 1991. Dorich House is now a museum housing a permanent collection of her work and her husband's extensive collection of Russian Imperial Art. Her work is also on display in Tate Britain and Tate Modern. A modeller rather than a carver Gordine's work engages key themes of portraiture, iconic "racial" heads, and the occasional mask. She was a contemporary of Jacob Epstein and exhibited with him in 1928 at the Leicester Gallery. Baby's Head, one of her pieces at that exhibition, is close in concept to Epstein's earlier models of Baby Asleep. Dora Gordine's work at the Tate reflects her importance as a major presence in 20th century European sculpture.
