Carving in Britain From 1910 to Now

"The Fine Art Society is proud to present a historic exhibition across two floors of the gallery that tells the story of carving in Britain from 1910 to the present day.

In the early years of the Twentieth Century sculpture in this country shifted in a dramatic new direction with the rediscovery of what Henry Moore later termed ‘direct carving’. Around this time Eric Gill had started to carve figures directly, and the more adventurous of his contemporaries also began to sculpt wood and stone in a freehand manner."
