The Lovers
Bars Oxnard Meadows
1981/Bronze/UK
Born in England in 1915. The rounded works of Bernard Meadows, Henry Moore's first assistant, are reminiscent of his master's influence. Artist who were active at the same time include Anthony Caro and Lynn Chadwick. The title of ``Lovers'' suggests a sensual creature. The small hole in the body looks like an eye. Because the surface is mirrored, the world around us is reflected, so we feel as if we are being peered into the work from within, rather than looking at it from the outside.
