    λ FRANK DOBSON (BRITISH 1886-1963)RECLINGING FEMALE NUDETerracottaSigned with initials (verso)8 x 18 x 8cm (3 x 7 x 3in.)Provenance:Stanley Casson FSA (1889-1944)And by family descent to the current ownerTrue sculpture and pure sculpture...almost the first time that such a thing has been even attempted in England (Roger Fry, 1925)Dobson is regarded as one of the key figures in the development of 20th Century British sculpture and was one of the most pioneering artists of the 1920s, fascinated by Cubism, Vorticism and Futurism his early work was groundbreaking. He was a talented painter and draughtsman but turned increasingly to sculpture in the years immediately following WWI. Later, his reputation was overshadowed by sculptors such as Henry Moore and Barbara Hepworth. In 1933, he sustained a serious injury which restricted his ability to carve. In 1946, he was appointed Head of Sculpture at the Royal College of Art and the following year was awarded a CBE. In 1951, he was elected RA. Dobson found the female nude the most satisfactory form to carve, which probably led to his later work being characterised by a softer, more sensual approach. Stanley Casson was a leading authority on both Greek and early 20th Century sculpture. He was friends with a number of leading practitioners including Eric Gill and Frank Dobson. He studied Classics at Oxford before travelling to Greece on behalf of the British School in Athens, where he undertook pioneering research in Greek history and Art and became fluent in Greek. He became a Reader in Classical Archaeology and Fellow of New College, Oxford as well as Assistant Director of the British School at Athens and published several books on Ancient Greece and also on Modern Sculpture. During World War II he worked in Intelligence and for the SOE, liaising between the British and Greek authorities, with responsibility for the protection of cultural monuments and antiquities. He was killed in April 1944, when his plane crashed off the Cornish coast, shortly after take off, on its way to Egypt.

(2)UnframedProvenance:William Ohly, art collector, founder of Berkeley Galleries & The Abbey Art Centre Thence by descent to the present owner William Ferdinand Charles Ohly, a British-born painter, sculptor and art dealer. Ohly, founded the Berkeley Galleries in 1942 based on Davies Street in London focusing on African and Oceanic artefacts. The gallery remained opened until 1977 and during these years Ohly's personal interests and relationships with fellow artists moulded his exhibitions, supporting the potter Bernard Leach and the Christmas Exhibition of 1954 featured a selection of pictures by Henry Moore and Ceri Richards alongside sculpture by Peter King and objects from India and the Far East. The Abbey Art Centre, located at 89 Park Road in New Barnet, Hertfordshire, was established in 1946 by Ohly who sought to create a sanctuary for artists from around the world. He transformed a three-acre property, originally acquired from the religious community led by J.S.M. Ward, into a vibrant art commune. The centre featured residential studios, a pottery, and a museum housed in a 14th-century tithe barn, showcasing a diverse collection of ethnographic art from Africa, Oceania, and the Americas. The Centre quickly became home to a dynamic and diverse community of artists, including many expatriates, especially Australians, seeking creative freedom in post-war Britain. Among the influential artists associated with the Abbey Art Centre were, Frank Dobson, Reg Butler, and Keith Grant. These figures, along with regular visitors like Lucian Freud, Henry Moore, and Francis Bacon, contributed to the Abbey's reputation as a vital space for artistic exchange and experimentation.After Ohly's death in 1955, his wife Kate and later their daughter Bienchen continued to uphold the Centre's legacy. Today, the Abbey Art Centre remains a family-run institution, supporting contemporary artists and preserving its unique history as a creative refuge and cultural landmark.Frank Dobson (1886-1963) was a British sculptor celebrated for his adventurous and elegant interpretations of the human form. After initially receiving training as a painter, he turned to sculpture at the outbreak of the Second World War. As a central figure in the development of modern British sculpture alongside Jacob Epstein and Henry Moore, Dobson served as Professor of Sculpture at the Royal College of Art (1946-1953). Among his most significant works are Cornucopia (1925-27) and London Pride (1951).

    Frank DOBSON (1888-1963) "Kneeling Female Nude" Bronze print on marble base, signed Dobson. Frank Dobson was born in London on November 18, 1886. The son of a commercial artist, he showed early promise and was awarded an art scholarship at the age of eleven. After leaving school at fourteen, he became workshop assistant to the sculptor William Reynolds Stevens. He then studied at the Hospitalfield School of Art in Scotland. His work was influenced by his exposure to modernist art at Roger Fry's landmark exhibition in 1910-11. After spending the First World War in the Artists Rifles, he exhibited his first sculptures in Wyndham Lewis's Group X show in 1920. Over the years, he moved from his early Cubist-inspired sculptures to a more lyrical style based on the nude female form. He also produced a series of remarkable busts. His work was hailed by Roger Fry as "true, pure sculpture" and critic Clive Bell described his Cornucopia as "the finest piece of sculpture ever produced by an Englishman". After the Second World War, he was appointed Professor of Sculpture at the Royal College of Art and awarded the CBE.
