Dora Gordine was a noted Estonian Sculptor who regularly exhibited at the Royal Academy and Leicester Galleries in London as well as shows at The Fine Art Society & The London Jewish Museum of Art. Symons was a great champion of her work. Reviewing one of her Leicester Galleries exhibitions in a 1938 edition of the Spectator, Symons wrote; 'Her profound sense of pure form in sculpture, heedless alike of realism and of exaggerated abstraction, is united with the subtlest delicacy of modelling, and these qualities combine to endow her bronzes with an abnormal power, an almost uncanny life, which only the sculpture of the greatest civilisations of the past has been able to produce.' Also a collector of her work, Symons and his wife bequeathed Gordine's 'A Malay Sultana' to the Tate Collection. Inscribed by Author(s).

About JOSEPHINE PINCKNEY (from Wikipedia): ******Josephine Lyons Scott Pinckney, b.1895 d.1957, was a novelist and poet in the literary revival of the American South after World War I. Her first book was a book of poems, Sea-Drinking Cities (1927); her best-selling novel was the social comedy, Three O'clock Dinner (1945). Josephine Pinckney was born in Charleston, South Carolina to Thomas Pinkney and Camilla Scott. She attended Ashley Hall and established a literary magazine there, graduating in 1912. She then attended college at the College of Charleston, Radcliffe College, and Columbia University, and held an honorary degree from the College of Charleston, given in 1935. She received the Southern Authors Award in 1946. As a poet, novelist, and essayist, Pinckney was an active participant in the Charleston Renaissance. In 1920, she co-founded the Poetry Society of South Carolina. She was involved in institutions such as the Charleston Museum and Dock Street Theatre and was an early proponent of the historic preservation of Charleston. She was an active member of the Society for the Preservation of Spirituals, which transcribed and annotated African American songs. Both organizations met for the first time at Pinckney's home at 21 King St. in Charleston. She is buried in Magnolia Cemetery, Charleston.******. Signed by Author(s).
