Gilbert Bayes (1872-1953): From Arts and Crafts to the Light Monumental (No. 23)

Description

Philip Ward-Jackson writes about the archive of sculptor Gilbert Bayes (1872-1953), recently acquired by the Henry Moore Institute's Archive of Sculptors' Papers.

Illustrated by many arresting images of Bayes' work that place them in a wider context, Ward-Jackson essay takes in Bayes' early years at Finsbury college; his time as a student at the Royal Academy, including a travel scholarship to Paris; and his work on monumental and architectural sculpture.

This essay was written to accompany the library display Gilbert Bayes (12 October - 6 November 1998), and an exhibition at The Fine Art Society, London (12 October - 6 November 1998).

There may be signs of age or yellowing to the pages as these are original copies from the publishing year. This is reflected in the pricing of the text.
