Bronze Head of a Young Boy, Early 20th Century English Sculpture

Hope-Pinker was born in Peckham, Surrey, the son of a stonemason and builder employing 5 or 6 men c.1871 in Hove, Sussex, who seems to have taught his son much of his stone-carving skills, although he also attended the Royal Academy Schools (c.1871).

Circle of Henri-Gaudier-Breska 1891-1915 Reclining Figure Carved marble Height 5 inches Born Henri Alphonse Séraphin Marie Gaudier near Orléans in France, Gaudier-Brzeska started using his hyphenated name in 1910 when he met the Polish writer Sophie Brzeska.

He was also a founding member of the London Group, which formed when the all-male Camden Arts Group joined with independent artists to challenge the dominance of the Royal Academy of Arts. Other founding members included Walter Sickert, Robert Bevan and Spencer Gore...
