Sculptor, printmaker and painter who studied at the Central School of Arts and Crafts, where John Skeaping taught. She was one, and “by far the most talented” of several private pupils taken by the sculptor, even helping him, as he recalls in his autobiography Drawn from Life, by collecting money when he busked with his accordion. Spurr’s early sculptures had Cubist overtones, stylised in the manner of Skeaping and Barbara Hepworth. Her carving, in wood and stone, which often included animals, is notable for its beautiful finish: see examples illustrated in the monographs British Sculpture 1944–1946, by Eric Newton, 1947, and Sculpture Today in Great Britain 1940–1943, by Arthur T Broadbent, 1949. Spurr was a talented printmaker, producing innovative coloured monotypes, etchings and contributing to Everyman Prints, which the AIA produced by offset lithography for popular distribution.
