拍品專文

Moon Figure, 1948, is likely to be one of Armitage's very first modelled works, and was made while Armitage was teaching at Corsham: 'It was one of the first things I made when we moved to Corsham. It was developed from an unfinished carving in Portland stone of a figure down to the waist. I was interested in simple inverted big shapes and the nest for arms, and the flatness which continued in my work indefinitely'. The shape of the head and the crossed arms clearly reflect the Cycladic figures in the British Museum which so greatly influenced Armitage.
