拍品資料及來源

Chadwick hoped to avoid a static quality in his sculpture, and a sense of tension and movement is apparent even in his sitting figures. It was by the presence or absence of rhythmic impulse rather than through conscious cerebral effort that he knew whether a work would be good or not: “If I were to analyse my feelings I should slow myself down. One’s subconsciousness should be left in peace, which itself sustains the feelings themselves. If they had been analysed, my sculptures would seem lifeless” (quoted in Chadwick, The Sculptor and His World, Leiden, 1988, p. 5).

Sarah and Daniel Chadwick have kindly confirmed this cast is recorded in the artist’s archives.
