The Wonder And The Horror Of The Human Head
This display focuses on a compelling group of sculptures and prints from the 1950s and early 1960s which use the form of the human head as a mirror for contemporary concerns.. During this period, Britain was haunted by the memory of World War II. At the same time, she was threatened by the spectre of the Cold War and an escalating nuclear arms race. The powerful imagery of these conflicts permeates this display which includes works by William Turnbull, Eduardo Paolozzi, Henry Moore, Elizabeth Frink, Anthony Caro, Bernard Meadows, F.E. McWilliam, Geoffrey Clarke and Hubert Dalwood.
From Monday 10:00am–8:00pm / Tuesday 10:00am–8:00pm / Wednesday Noon–8:00pm / Thursday 10:00am–5:00pm / Friday 10:00am–5:00pm / Saturday 10:00am–5:00pm / Sunday 1:00pm–5:00pmPrice: Free
