Description:

View of the sculpture. [left half of a stereo pair of images see also Image ID: 00-4120 for right hand half] Location: Placed in the forecourt of the Upper Chapel (by kind permission of the Upper Chapel, Norfolk Street). The courtyard was renovated in 2000. Description: The women are represented in various states of motion and emotion. Commission: The original pieces, made in plaster, were bought by Sheffield City Council Arts Department in 1983 and cast into bronze in 1985. Casting was carried out at the Morris-Singer Foundry. Comment: Though placed as natural occupants of the forecourt, the figures do not really seem comfortable or wholly compatible placed together, but individually they are marvellous examples of Fullard's style. 'Mother & Child' , made in plaster in 1956, was first shown in an exhibition entitled 'Looking at People' at the South London Art Gallery in 1957. 'Running Woman', (plaster - 1957) was shown at the first John Moores Liverpool Exhibition in 1957-1958. 'Angry Woman', (plaster - 1958) was shown at the South London Art Gallery in 1960. George Fullard (1923-1973) trained at Sheffield Art College, which is now part of Sheffield Hallam University. Further Information on Fullard is available from the Psalter Lane Campus Library's Special Collections web page. A major exhibition on the work of George Fullard was shown in Sheffield in Summer 1998.
