‘It seems to me that art must be the manifestation of some vital force coming from the dark, caught by the imagination and translated by the artist's ability and skill… Whatever the final shape, the force behind it is…indivisible’ (Lynn Chadwick, quoted in Jane Buck and Claude Koenig, Lynn Chadwick : ‘Coming from the Dark’, Cotswold Printing Company, Chalford, 2003, p.3) We are grateful to The Estate of Lynn Chadwick for their kind assistance with the cataloguing of this lot.
