Astrid Zydower - Her Life & Works (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9780953501960)

The work of Astrid Zydower has a significant place in the sculpture of the 20th century. She was considered by Richard Buckle to be one of the greatest realist sculptors in the world since Epstein and Rodin: An accolade with which Epstein agreed. During her lifetime she fought against publicity, and there was never a specific exhibition devoted to her, but this book attempts to reveal her genius, by gathering together some of the many photographs taken of her and her work. To this has been added a short biography assembled from my own and other people's memories of this remarkable person. It will be seen that not only was she a brilliant artist, but a sincere friend and confidant to those who knew her. With a foreword by the Earl & Countess of Harewood.
