Bernard Meadows: post-war fear, the human figure and the shadow of Henry Moore

This article is an introduction to Bernard Meadows (1915-2005) via his figurative sculptures. Like so many of his generation, Meadows served in the Second World War, and his work can now be seen as an inquiry into a much reshaped humanity. His sculptures probe what it means to be human, whether that is physical, emotional or ethical.
