Lynn Chadwick by Michael Bird is a critical study of the British sculptor known for his angular, welded figures and association with post-war modernism. Bird traces Chadwick’s development from architectural design to sculpture, examining his use of space, balance and tension. The book situates Chadwick within Cold War anxieties and the rise of British sculpture, offering clear analysis of how his austere, often menacing forms express movement, isolation and psychological unease.
