William Redgrave

William Redgrave (1903–86) was a British sculptor. Writer and critic Bevis Hillier described William Redgrave in 1998: “William Redgrave was one of the great sculptors of the twentieth century. His work was in the tradition of Rodin and it is no exaggeration to say that some of it was in the class of Rodin. His portrait busts such as Francis Bacon, Henry Cooper and Lord Olivier achieve the most telling likeness in an effortless, 'without striving' way -the hand of the sculptor doing the bidding of his eyes and brain with perfect reflexes, perfect synchronicity. 
His Majestic bronze triptych 'The Event', completed in 1966 is one of the most ambitious works of twentieth century art: and, in this masterpiece, Bill's ambition was realised.”
