Lynn Chadwick, Winged Figures II

1976

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 is known for his expressionistic welding of bronze, and he often improvised his sculptural forms rather than creating them from premade planning. Chadwick served as a pilot in World War II, which can be linked to the winged quality of his sculptures.
