| biography:
| Sculptor and printmaker, born in Edinburgh, EC Scotland, UK. He studied at Edinburgh College of Art and at the Slade School of Art, London. His early work was influenced by the Dadaists and Surrealists in Paris in the 1940s, but his more mature sculptures in bronze and steel often resemble stylized robotic figures, such as ‘Medea’ (1964). He also engaged in print-making and textile design, and was elected to the Royal Academy in 1979. He was knighted in 1989. |
