EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the exquisite "Model for Sculpture: The South Wind" by renowned artist Eric Gill. Carved in 1929, this bath stone relief measures 25.6 x 68 x 10.2cm and is part of a private collection. Gill was commissioned to create three reliefs for the exterior of London Underground HQ at 55 Broadway, SW1. While the full-size figures were carved on-site, models like this one were made for exhibition at the Goupil Gallery. The sculpture depicts a stunning representation of the South Wind, with its fair-haired and naked female figure standing tall against a backdrop of swirling winds. The intricate details capture both strength and grace as her long hair flows freely in the wind. As an artist associated with the Arts and Crafts movement, Gill's work reflects his mastery of combining modernity with traditional British craftsmanship. This particular piece exemplifies his ability to infuse human likeness into sculptural forms while maintaining a sense of naturalism. The photograph beautifully captures every nuance of this remarkable artwork - from its delicate features to its smooth skin texture - allowing viewers to appreciate Gill's skillful artistry up close. Overall, this striking image offers a glimpse into Gill's creative genius and serves as a testament to his significant contributions to twentieth-century sculpture.
