- This monograph provides the first critical history of British modernist sculpture and biology. It examines the influence of biologists and philosophers on the work of British modernist artists and critics. A highly interdisciplinary text, it draws upon a wealth of material from the history of science and art and weaves an innovative interpretative frame through which to understand British modernist sculpture's intellectual proclivities and biological appetites. It offers a profound reassessment of key figures and artworks associated with British modernism and emphasises just how much modern sculpture owes to the 'biological revolution' of the 1920s and 1930s.
