♡ BARBARA TRIBE (1913-2000) Lovers II 1936-37 bronze, edition of 12 inscribed at lower edge: BARBARA TRIBE 39 x 28 x 35.5cm (including base) PROVENANCE: Neville Keating Pictures, London Private collection, Sydney OTHER NOTES: Another edition of this sculpture is in the permanent collection of the National Gallery of Australia, Canberra In 1935 Barbara Tribe was awarded the New South Wales Travelling Art Scholarship, being both the first time the scholarship had been awarded to a sculptor and the first time it had been awarded to a female. She departed Australia for London, a common rite of passage for Australian artists, and like many before her she returned only sporadically to her home country. She enrolled at London's Royal Academy School and began studying at the City & Guilds School of Art in Kennington. Her resulting works were greatly admired by the painter and teacher Duncan Grant specifically her pair of bronzes "Lovers I" and "Lovers II". Whilst in London, Tribe made the most of her access to museums and galleries absorbing influences from Rodin, Brancusi, Epstein and many more. However, in 1937 Barbara's travelling scholarship came to an end but rather than return home she made the decision to stay and persuaded Selfridges department store to enable her to sculpt customers while they waited, an hour for the sitting and seven days for delivery.
