Шаблон:Short description Шаблон:Use dmy dates Шаблон:Use Australian English Gwen Barringer (29 July 1882 – 26 August 1960) was a South Australian artist, known for her watercolours.
Barringer was noted for watercolours of flowers and landscapes, to which she invested a fairyland-like glamour[1] and remained immune to trends and changing fashions. In 1928 following an extensive sketching tour of Europe[2] she held a solo exhibition in Adelaide which achieved a near record sale (over £1000) for an Australian woman.[3] She died in Adelaide on 26 August 1960 after a long illness. She is represented in the State galleries of South Australia and Victoria, and the National Gallery, Canberra.[4]
Barringer studied at the South Australian School of Arts and Crafts under H. P. Gill, Archibald Collins and Hans Heysen. She was a council member of the South Australian Society of Arts for over 30 years, and was also well known as a teacher.
Barringer Street in the Canberra suburb of Conder is named in her honour, as well as her sister-in-law Ethel.[5]
Family
Barringer was born Gwendoline L'Avence Adamson, her parents being Adam and Kate Emma Adamson (née Kentish, 1861 – 27 December 1941) in the inner Adelaide suburb of Harrowville, Adelaide. Her grandfather was a brother of James Hazel Adamson (1829–1902[6]), a prominent artist of early South Australia.
She married Herbert Page Barringer (also a watercolourist) on 18 November 1910 at Christ Church, North Adelaide,[7] unsuccessfully seeking a divorce in 1930[8] and later divorcing him in 1937.[9]
Herbert Barringer's sister Ethel Barringer was an artist of some note.
