Description
This essay looks at three artists who have addressed different phases of industrialisation, each being concerned with the social displacements which have accompanied that process.
Each artist is closely linked to a particular locale, a time an a place: Hamo Thornycroft in his semi-nostalgic return to an agricultural past; Henry Moore in returning to the mining town of his childhood; and Ghisha Koenig working in the factories of a post-war New Town.
