Maquette for Winged Figures III by Lynn Chadwick
Bronze, Edition 5 of 6 Lynn Chadwick was a leading figure in post-war British sculpture, celebrated for his bold, angular forms that capture both strength and movement. Awarded the International Prize for Sculpture at the 1956 Venice Biennale, Chadwick developed a distinctive style that fused abstraction with figuration.
Maquette for Winged Figures III (1961) exemplifies his exploration of balance, structure, and motion. The two conjoined figures, their arms extended into sharp, wing-like forms, evoke a sense of both unity and weightlessness. The faceted surfaces and geometric contours reflect Chadwick’s mastery of transforming rigid bronze into compositions of striking dynamism. This theme, also seen in his Teddy Boy and Girl and Dancing Figures series, underscores his fascination with human interaction and movement.
