This is the first complete illustrated catalogue of Lynn Chadwick's sculpture. He is one of Britain's leading sculptors, who established his international reputation at the age of 41 when he won the International Prize for Sculpture at the Venice Biennale in 1956. The introductory essay by Dennis Farr examines his development as a sculptor, and his techniques, based on a series of recent interviews and fired by an interest in this work which goes back many years. Trained originally as an architectural draughtsman, Chadwick, after war service as a Fleet Air Arm pilot, only began his sculptor's career in 1946, when he began constructing mobiles. Largely self-taught, he works in weeded iron and has constantly been intrigued by human and animal forms. No matter how abstract his work has been at times, it is always firmly rooted in a deep understanding of, and love for the natural world. Dennis Farr is general editor of the "Clarendon Studies in the History of Art".
