Lynn Chadwick is one of the leading British sculptors of the post-war generation, alongside Henry Moore and Barbara Hepworth. Although his work is represented in many major museums worldwide, no concise introduction to his work has been produced. His work, largely in metal, is generally based on the human figure, but is sometimes so strongly schematised that it comes close to abstraction. Published on the occasion of a retrospective exhibition of his sculpture at Tate Britain, Autumn 2003, this book is the first to undertake a detailed critical explanation of Chadwick's career.
