EDITORS COMMENTS
In the hallowed halls of the Leicester Galleries in 1928, a young Russian sculptor named Dora Gordine captivated audiences with her bronze sculptures. The Graphic, a leading British weekly magazine, reported on the exhibition with great enthusiasm, praising Gordine's unique artistic vision and technical mastery. The photograph features a close-up view of two of Gordine's bronze heads, their expressive faces etched with a sense of strength and vitality. The novelty of the nova-novelle material, a type of bronze, added to the intrigue, as it allowed Gordine to create intricate textures and lifelike details. Gordine's figures, both male and female, were characterized by their powerful, elongated forms and bold, stylized features. The sculptures were not mere replicas of reality but rather, expressions of the artist's inner world. Born in Russia in 1895, Gordine had already made a name for herself in the European art scene by the late 1920s. Her work was influenced by the avant-garde movements of the time, such as Cubism and Futurism, but she developed a distinct style that was all her own. The exhibition at the Leicester Galleries marked a significant moment in Gordine's career, solidifying her reputation as a talented and innovative sculptor. Her bronze sculptures, with their striking forms and expressive faces, continue to captivate audiences to this day, serving as a testament to the enduring power of art to inspire and provoke thought.
