Gilbert Bayes - Sculptor 1872-1953 (Paperback)

After years of neglect, the variety, technical quality and imaginative content of Gilbert Bayes's work is receiving the appreciation it deserves. This is the first full study and catalogue raisonne of this 2Oth-century figurativist.

The career of Bayes spanned the Arts and Crafts movement, Art Nouveau, Art Deco and Modernism. While figures were his specialty, Bayes also designed presentation cups, caskets, mirrors, stained glass and more. His best known works are the large scale low relief panels designed for architectural settings, some of which include the Saville Theatre and the Victoria & Albert Museum.
