The Henry Moore Institute Presents Loris Rey |
|
|
|
LEEDS, UK.- The Henry Moore Institute in Leeds presents Loris Rey (1903-1962) on view through August 2003. This informal display is one of a series based around the careers of lesser-known Leeds sculptors. Born in Glasgow and trained initially in the monumental masonic tradition, Rey became Head of the School of Sculpture at Leeds College of Art in 1927. Whilst in Leeds he sculpted Epstein-like portraits of local dignitaries including Sir Michael Sadler and Jacob Kramer, as well as a virile rendition of the hands of the surgeon Lord Moynihan. Rey moved to London circa 1934, shortly after resigning from his post in Leeds. Working out of a small studio in Chelsea, his later career reflected contemporary thought on the representation of the figure as advanced by sculptors such as Underwood, Dobson and Moore.
