Hubert Cyril Dalwood (2 June 1924 – 2 November 1976) was a British sculptor. == Life== Hubert Dalwood (known as Nibs) was born in Bristol, England, and was described by the art critic Norbert Lynton as ''"one of the most original and inventive minds in the field of modern sculpture"''.〔Norbert Lynton, Hubert Dalwood: Sculptures and Reliefs (London: Arts Council, 1979).〕 He was born on 2 June 1924 in Bristol. He became an apprentice engineer with the Bristol Aeroplane Company (1940–4), leaving to join the Royal Navy as an engineer (1944–46). On leaving the navy, he studied art at the Bath Academy of Art, at Corsham, under Kenneth Armitage, until 1949. In that year he started his long-term relationship with Gimpel Fils in London, with his first involvement in a group exhibition. His first one-man exhibition was held there in 1954.〔()〕 In 1951 he won an Italian Government Scholarship and worked in a bronze foundry in Milan where he met the sculptor Marino Marini. On returning to England, he taught at Newport School of Art (1951–55). He was awarded a Gregory Fellowship in Sculpture at the University of Leeds (1955–59), following on from Kenneth Armitage. Between 1956 and 1964 he taught at a number of Colleges of Art, including Leeds, Royal, Hornsey and Maidstone. In 1959 he was commissioned to make three large columns for Liverpool University. In the same year he was awarded First Prize for Sculpture in the John Moores Liverpool Exhibition, with his work 'Large Object' and, three years later, in 1962, the David E. Bright Sculpture Prize at the Venice Biennale. In 1956 he was a founder member of the 56 Group (later renamed 56 Group Wales). He left the group in 1970. In 1964 his growing status won him a Professorship to the University of Illinois. He progressed to become Head of the Sculpture Department at Hornsey College of Art, in 1966, where he stayed until 1973. He won a Churchill Scholarship in 1972, allowing him to visit India and the Far East, to further his studies of gardens and landscapes. His final move was to take him to the Central School of Art, where he was appointed Head of the Sculpture Department. He was elected Associate of the Royal Academy of Arts on 30 April 1976. On 2 November 1976, after a short illness, Dalwood died aged 52 in London. William Packer, the critic, and also a friend, called him ''"one of the best artists of his generation, a man who could have civilised and enlivened our cities and fired our imaginations."'' 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Hubert Dalwood」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
