Mary Johanna 'Mollie' Kerr, Mrs Gore (1889 - 1969)

Biography

Mary Johanna Kerr, known as Mollie (1889-1969), married Spencer Gore (1878-1914) in January 1912. They first met in 1911, possibly introduced by Gore’s friend the artist Albert Rutherston (1881-1953). Mollie came from Edinburgh where she trained as a dancer at the Opera, and also modelled for the painter Charles Hodge Mackie (1862–1920). In London she knew a number of artists and art students, possibly modelling for them, and through this circle met Rutherston and Gore.
