Art Deco Silvered Bronze Wall Mounted Sculpture by Doris Kathleen Flinn

About the Item

Fine quality gilt bronze wall mask of a male subject with striking features, by Doris Kathleen Flinn. This piece could be wall hung, hung on a stand or even used to make a superb lamp base. It is an original piece and a rare piece by a female sculptor. Signed. It is one of her finest works. We also have another piece by the same artist. Doris Flinnwas born at 12 Oak Avenue, Chorlton-cum-Hardy, Lancashire, on 15 October 1892. In 1911, Flinn moved to Manchester and from 1914 to 1920 she studied at Manchester School of Art, living at 1 King's Road Alexandra Park, Manchester, and was a member of the Manchester Academy of Fine Arts. She met Joan Tuckett (1895-1957) by 1917. Tuckett was one of the first female solicitors in Bristol. By 1920 Flinn moved to Bristol. Both Flinn and Tuckett were active Communists and friends with Doris Brabham Hatt and Margery Mack Smith. Flinn and Tuckett were also international hockey players and trained as pilots. The plaster model for a portrait head of Tuckett made by Flinn in 1925 is now at the Bristol Museum. In 1935 Flinn sculpted "Lawyer, Athlete, Aviator, Woman", a piece about Tuckett. By 1923, Flinn was living at 5 Beaufort Buildings, Clifton, Bristol, Tuckett's family home, and ran a sculpture studio in Boyce's Avenue, Clifton, Bristol.[1] In the early 1920s Flinn worked on some of the carvings for the Wills Memorial Building. In 1930 the couple purchased The Rookery, a large stone-built XVIII century house at East Dundry, Bristol, where they lived there together until Tuckett's death in 1957. Flinn continued to live at The Rookery until her death in 1977.
