Conjunction: Lynn Chadwick & Geoffrey Clarke

Charisma, resourcefulness, dedication and pioneering spirit are all attributes that can easily be applied to both Lynn Chadwick and Geoffrey Clarke, and from their prolific outputs it is clear that both had an indefatigable passion for sculpture and brought exacting standards to their making.
