Description
Bernard Meadows,
British 1914-2005 -
Drawings for sculpture, 1966;
pencil and gouache on paper in a shared mount, two, each signed with initial and dated 'M 66', each 13 x 17 cm (ARR)
Provenance:
the Collection of Klaus Hinrichsen (1912–2004)
Note:
Klaus Hinrichsen (1912–2004) was a German-born art historian who fled Nazi Germany in 1938. He was interned at Hutchinsons Camp on the Isle of Man from 1940, where he organised exhibitions featuring refugee artists such as Kurt Schwitters. Prevented from working in public art institutions after his release, he dedicated himself to collecting and researching maps, ethnographic works, and lithographs, meticulously cataloguing his acquisitions. He sourced items from Sotheby’s, Christie’s, and antique dealers, prioritising historical significance and conducted extensive provenance research at the British Library. His archive, including records and ephemera from his time in internment, is now held at the Tate Gallery.
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 his drawings evoke abstracted anthropomorphic forms. Meadows came to public attention following his inclusion in the Venice Biennale in 1952, alongside Geoffrey Clarke, Lynn Chadwick and Kenneth Armitage.
