January 11, 2013: British New Sculpture 1877-1920
|
In the last decades of the 19th Century, British sculpture seemed hopelessly mired in
a grandiose and outmoded Neoclassicism.
The New Sculpture Movement movement, founded in 1896, attempted a rescue, and produced some
of the most beautiful
and likeable sculpture of the turn of the century era.
