"In 1974, when a local Sydney newspaper wrote on the success of two local
artists, they were introduced using their husband’s names. Ruth Faerber, who
has died aged 102, was named as “Mrs Hans (Ruth) Faerber of Castle Cove”.
This was later expanded to indicate the “housewife, mother of two is the wife
of Hans Faerber, a design engineer”, before describing her prizewinning work
and noting she was also the art critic of the Jewish Times.
Ever polite, always elegant, Faerber never vocally contested such
categorisations. However, from girlhood until her extreme old age, she was
first and foremost an artist."
