About the Item

Silvered bronze mask of a female, an original piece by Doris Kathleen Flinn. This was most likely of her partner who she often used as a model. It can be hung on the wall, mounted on a stand or even used as a striking lamp base. Doris Flinn was born at 12 Oak Avenue, Chorlton-cum-Hardy, Lancashire, on 15 October 1892, the daughter of Arthur Flinn (b. ca. 1858), an agent for a silk merchants, and Martha Hannah Barton. 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. 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.
