Description
Bernard Meadows,
British 1915-2005 -
Fish Relief, 1955;
bronze, 39.5 x 57.5 cm (ARR)
Provenance:
with Gimpel Fils, London, GF16391
Exhibited:
British Pavilion, Venice, 32nd Venice Biennale, 1964 (label attached to the reverse of the frame)
Note:
the present work is one of a number of reliefs the artist made in the 1950s, evoking the appearance of fossilised and paleolithic forms. As an assistant to Henry Moore in the 1940s, Meadows turned to animal forms in his sculpture to avoid being compared to his teacher, and other reliefs evoke his popular subjects of birds and crabs. A series of these reliefs 'Four Small Reliefs on Cock Theme, 1952' is now in the collection of Birkenhead Art Gallery. These works were made following Meadows inclusion in the Venice Biennale in 1952, alongside Geoffrey Clarke, Lynn Chadwick and Kenneth Armitage.
