Pages : 160
Book Description
Bernard Reynolds was a man - and an artist - very much of his time. His upbringing was strict, yet instilled in him a deep love of nature and art. Indeed, if he was without a sculpture project of some kind, even for a short time, he felt uncomfortable. For Bernard, family life with Gwynneth, the children and grandchildren, and his social life within a large, varied circle of friends. was not conducted entirely separately from art. Right up until his death in 1997, he was proposing and working on new ideas for sculpture, and delighting in drawing from life. Pat Hurrell is a lecturer in Visual History and Theory in Photography at University Campus Suffolk in Ipswich.

Linked Figures / Aristophanes on Eros
Author: Kenneth Armitage
Publisher: Sylph Editions
ISBN: 9780956509291
Category : Love
Languages : en
Pages : 0
Book Description
The third edition of The Nobile Folios explores Linked Figures, a marvellous multilayered bronze conceived early in Kenneth Armitage's career, yet a work that in many ways captures his complete oeuvre. Two figures as one (or perhaps one figure as two) play against each other creating, simultaneously, harmony and discord. Set alongside Aristophanes' celebrated speech on the origin of love in Plato's Symposium, the folio is an audacious attempt to reflect and to recreate on paper the inherent tension of this highly-textured three- dimensional work. It does so by means of bold photography and stimulating layout, and, of course, through the juxtaposition of words. The great Athenian playwright--who thought that originally humans were brawny globular creatures equipped with four hands, four legs, two faces on a circular neck, and comprised of three sexes--creates a magnificent and entertaining backdrop that allows a fresh reading of Linked Figures.

Pages : 0
Book Description
Geoffrey Clarke (1924-2014) was a pioneer in a golden age of British sculpture, whose fearless experimentation with new materials and processes saw him create works that epitomise the vibrancy of the post-war British art scene. This fully-illustrated catalogue raisonn�, the first of its kind, confirms Clarke's position among the leading lights of a generation, which included Lynn Chadwick, Reg Butler and Kenneth Armitage. There are few familiar with the full scope of Clarke's prolific output - how it transgressed from early iron pieces, indicative of the 'geometry of fear', to elegant aluminium works and later wooden abstract pieces of the 1990s. Spanning nearly five decades of making, Clarke's impressive body of sculptural work is detailed alongside other elements of his diverse oeuvre - stained glass (including pieces created for Coventry Cathedral), silver, medals and textiles also feature. With catalogue entries accompanied by an exhibition history, list of public collections as well as a comprehensive bibliography, this book will be the definitive resource for curators, collectors, dealers and enthusiasts seeking a detailed overview of Clarke's important artistic contribution.
