Acerca del libro
Hubert Dalwood Landscape into Sculpture is published to celebrate the exhibition of that title at the New Art Centre Sculpture Park and Gallery, Roche Court, near Salisbury, UK. The author Alison Dalwood (the artist's younger daughter) has included many stunning photographs by artist Stephan Hausmeister.
The text is by Dr Jon Wood, writer and curator, specialising in modern and contemporary sculpture. Jon worked for many years at the Henry Moore Institute, running its research programme and curating exhibitions, and also as an editor of the Sculpture Journal. Recent publications and exhibitions include: 'Contemporary Sculpture: Artists' Writings and Interviews' (2020), 'Tony Cragg at the Boboli Gardens' (2019) and 'Sculpture and Film' (2018). He is a member of the Sculpture UK advisory board.
A central strand of Hubert Dalwood’s sculpture is the complex relationship between sculpture and landscape, architecture and imagination. Many of Dalwood’s works are compellingly caught in the uncertain space between object and location, between a distillation of experience of architecture and garden spaces. The significance of this exhibition and the book that accompanies it is the juxtaposition of Dalwood’s sculpture within the light and space, landscape and architecture of Roche Court.
After working as an engineer in the Royal Navy during the Second World War, Hubert Dalwood studied at Bath Academy of Art and was then awarded the Gregory Fellowship in sculpture at Leeds University winning first prize in sculpture at John Moores in 1959 with Large Object. Sensitive and distinctive, his work was chosen for display at the 1962 Venice Bienalle and he became internationally recognized as a major sculptor. Dalwood died in 1976 aged 52 after a short illness and a retrospective of his work was shown at the Hayward Gallery in 1979. His sculpture is in many public collections in the UK and abroad including Tate Britain, the Guggenheim and Museum of Modern Art, New York.
