Lynn Chadwick

Introduction by Eva Chadwick
Text by Judith Collins
Commentary and Photographs by David Finn

During his lifetime, Lynn Chadwick played a major role in bringing post-war sculpture in Britain to world attention. Chadwick's sculpture was based on construction rather than modeling. He began with a linear armature, or skeleton, to which he applied a skin, building up the surface to create a solid form. His subject matter ranged from abstracts to human forms to generic animal figures. David Finn's photographs explore the exquisite collection of his sculptures housed at Lypiatt Park, the gothic castle in Gloucestershire he called home until his death at age 88 in 2003.
