Lynn Chadwick, Winged Figures II

Lynn Chadwick’s Winged Figures II are bronze sculptural forms with abstractly shaped heads and faceted, angular panels suggesting wings, set on multiple thin rod-like legs.

Chadwick served as a pilot in World War II, which can be linked to the winged quality of his sculptures.
