Description

The 20th century saw the arrival of numerous innovative and pioneering sculptors. Yet while names such as Jacob Epstein, Eric Gill, Henry Moore and Barbara Hepworth are frequently touted as the figure-heads of modern British sculpture, the contribution made by Leon Underwood often has been ignored.Addressing the key stages in Underwood’s development as a sculptor, Ben Whitworth unravels the motivations and inspirations that guided the artist’s career. Including a complete catalogue of Underwood’s sculptural oeuvre, plus a list of exhibitions that included the artist’s work, The Sculpture of Leon Underwood offers a fascinating insight into the sculptor and his work and is essential reading for academics and general readers alike.
