MARY SPENCER WATSON : "Woman with a book", carved ash sculpture, circa 1935, 22" high. See illustration.This sculpture is illustrated on page 80 of the Catalogue RaisonnÈ compiled by Annette Ratuszniak to accompany the Exhibition in Salisbury in 2004. The work was included in this exhibition as well as at Heals Mansard Gallery in 1937, the Dorset County Museum in 1976 and 1981 and the Southampton City Art Gallery in 1982. Provenance: Private Collection, Bath.Purchased from the artist and thence by descent. Mary Spencer Watson (1913-2006). The daughter of the successful artist and Royal Academician, George Spencer Watson, and Avant-garde Mime artist Hilda, Mary Spencer Watson was one of the last centuries most successful sculptors. Discovering sculpture in its most immediate form amongst the stonecutters of the Purbeck Hills, Mary first experienced the thrill of carving when a local Quarry owner lent her some tools. After a long training, first at the Slade and the Royal Academy Schools, then a more specific sculpture study followed with John Skeaping at the Central of School of Art. It was during this period that she absorbed the then prevailing notion of truth to materials and direct carving. Maryís sculpture developed quickly, and after a spell working with Ossip Zadkine in Paris she went on to have a highly successful career working from Dunshay Manor. Maryís first solo exhibition was held, appropriately, at the Mansard Gallery at Helas of Tottenham Court Road, in 1937. This current sculpture was part of this exhibition. The Mansard Gallery reflected Ambrose Heal`s personal interest in the arts, and became something of a home for the ëLondon Groupí of artists for a short period. A non-commercial venture, the gallery focused more on the decorative arts following the mid 1920ís and Maryís exhibition will have fitted well into the mix of fashionable and well selected work of the period. ëWoman With a Bookí at 92cms high is a powerful and confident work, the figure, with head in hand, is a striking example of mid 1930ís sculpture. Bold in conception, but not overly adorned with ornament, the lines are reminiscent of the best work of the period without being a slavish or uninspired reworking of prevailing concerns. When looking at this work it is hard to understand why until recent years her work was so little known in artistic circles. In later life Mary spent most of her time working in Purbeck stone, and produced many sculptures that have adorned both public and private spaces. Most notably the four figures in the north porch of Wells Cathedral and more locally the ëPurbeck Quarrymaní in the churchyard at Langton Matravers, show Maryís mature and confident later work.
