I'll wait a few days and see if there's more info trickling down before doing a posting on these new leads to this Australian artist.Gerriehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01985746967465520617noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8706607912742642133.post-81089004007546769122012-10-17T00:33:51.701+02:002012-10-17T00:33:51.701+02:00I love the horses too, especially the white tether...I love the horses too, especially the white tethered group. I don't know if it is the smae lady but this article has info on a lady artist Nancy Grant with information on her schooling. http://issuu.com/worldantiquesart/docs/aaa-vic-apr-2010.pdf/search/20 if the link doesn't take you to the page, type grant into the 'search this publication' box<br />There seems to be a connection with Dorothy Braund, another australian artist, as they were in correspondence together, and another called Barbara Brash who did her portrait.

But how could Nancy Grant have titled something Worths Circus when it was the famous Wirth Brothers Circus, which toured Australia from the 1920s through the 1960s? Or did the Museum folk make that mistake of title? Here's a YouTube short video of a horse performance I found online. http://aso.gov.au/titles/historical/wirths-circus-film/clip1/ <br />And another of May Wirth and her famous trick riding in the 1920s. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uc9F32fqzGM<br /><br />I can readily see why Nancy Grant was fascinated. Wonder if she did a larger series of circus prints.leaves on the Raney Treehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12711219595014372212noreply@blogger.com
