Biography

Sculptor who emigrated from the U.S. to England and became one of the country's leading artists. His portrait and figure work was well received and included depictions of Paul Robeson, T.S. Eliot and John Gielgud. His public commissions, however, were frequently assailed as modernism at its worst.
