The Sculpture of Francis Derwent Wood
This final volume in the British Sculptors and Sculpture series addresses the work of the important but neglected British sculptor Francis Derwent Wood RA (1871-1926). A student of Edouard Lanteri at the Royal College of Art, Derwent Wood's early artistic career was distinguished. His reputation grew rapidly and a period as Director of Modelling at the Glasgow School of Art saw him working on public commissions with many of the city's most important architects. Simultaneously, he built his London practice, perfecting the art of the rapidly executed, observationally astute portrait bust, and becoming a well-connected member of the Chelsea set. He exhibited at the Royal Academy every year from...
Bernard Meadows
This is the most complete volume available on the work of this major British artist. Meadows was for many years the studio assistant of Henry Moore. He first attracted international attention at the 1952 Venice Biennale when his work was exhibited in the British Pavilion, which brought to attention a new style in post-war British sculpture. This collection of the major pieces of sculpture and related drawings spans Meadows's early obsession with fear, in his depiction of frightened birds and frightening animals, to the more sensuous, erotic mood of the work of the late seventies and early eighties.

It concentrates on the most influential, award-winning, and highly valued works from the growing field of popular sculpture availabe today. 780 color and black and white photographs display the wide range of materials, themes, styles, and settings that convey each sculptor's classical, figurative, abstract, or visionary work.
The Sculpture of Charles Sargeant Jagger
In a career that spanned just 16 years, Charles Sargeant Jagger (1885-1934) established himself as one of the leading war memorial sculptors in the years following 1918. His military figures display Jagger's artistic motivations. In contrast to the fashion for idealism, the features of the models are workman-like. Their strikingly symmetrical poses also reflect the influence of primitive art. The combination of realism and primitivism is evident throughout Jagger's body of work, including his later creations such as his religious works and portrait statues. In this, the first study of the sculptor's oeuvre, Ann Compton seeks to place Jagger on the art-history map. Including research from the artist's private papers which have been previously unavailable, The Sculpture of Charles Sargeant Jagger will provide an authoritative overview of a career that has been unduly neglected.

A highly respected sculptor, F.E. McWilliam (1909-1992) was described by Bryan Robertson in 1992 as 'one of the truest artists to work in England this century'. This book re-establishes McWilliam's considerable artistic reputation.

"The editorial team, and invited experts in the field, have drawn on a mass of archival and scholarly material, including Gunnis's own extensive unpublished archive, to rewrite all the major lives of the sculptors, and to add over 1,000 new ones. Each entry gives a brief biography of the sculptor, where possible, followed by a list of his or her known works. Each work is identified by date and location, past or present, and provenance, materials, exhibitions, known preparatory sketches and models, and bibliographical references are also recorded." "The dictionary is a treasure trove of information for sculpture, architectural and art historians. It will also be of great interest to enthusiasts and collectors, and to those with a general interest in British cultural history who wish to identify or locate works of sculpture in Britain and to learn more about the artists who created them."--BOOK JACKET.
