- Notes:
- In addition to the human form Chadwick made a number of sculptures of aggressive, angular creatures, such as Idiomorphic Beast (1953; Bristol, Mus. & A.G.). In 1956 he won the International Sculpture Prize at the Venice Biennale, which firmly established his reputation, and in 1958 he moved to Lypiatt Park in Gloucestershire, where he lived for many years. His approach to sculpture is based in construction rather than modelling. Chadwick first makes a linear armature or skeleton on to which he applies a skin, building up the surface to a solid form. Chadwick created a permanent exhibition of his work at his Gloucestershire home, Lypiatt Park, close to Pangolin Editions, the foundry that cast most of his work.
