compared to the extensive information about American artists.
Frederick (FE) McWilliam was an Irish surrealist* sculptor, who worked mainly in stone, bronze and wood. He constantly changed his style and subject throughout his career, but is perhaps best known for his 'Women of Belfast' series of Irish sculptures from 1971, which reflected the escalation of violence in Northern Ireland at the time. There are 20 pieces in the series, several of which show women flying through the air after a bomb explosion.
??McWilliam was born in Banbridg (showing 500 of 3180 characters). |
