About this Event

Please note: Booking is Essential

This lecture examines the work of one of the outstanding figures of 20th century sculpture, an artist who achieved an international reputation for her monumental works depicting the human figure, birds and other animals. Sadly, she died in her early 60s but, from the first small sculpture acquired by the Tate Gallery (when she was a student of 21) until her death, she produced an astonishing body of work. Her bronzes varied in scale and feeling, from small, threatening birds to the life-size, tranquil Walking Madonna in Salisbury Cathedral Close. Join Frank Woodgate, The Arts Society Lecturer, to find out more.

In-person: For access to the event, please use the Aldermanbury entrance to Guildhall Library/The London Centre.
