TAILIEUCHUNG - THE SCULPTURES - SYMBOLISM AND FUNCTION

While Greek forms in art reached new heights of popularity in the late 1860s and 70s, dress reformers were also becoming more vocal. Again, dress reform was not an entirely new crusade, for example the doctor Andrew Coombes wrote treatises on it as early as 1834. By the late 1860s the large domed skirts of the crinoline were out of fashion and instead the so-called ‘S-shape’ or Grecian bend became fashionable. (The ‘S-Shape’ was later used to describe the shape of the Edwardian corset in the 1900s). . | THE SCULPTURES - SYMBOLISM AND FUNCTION Introduction The range of sculptures on the twenty one buildings described in the previous section are a selection from a total of perhaps fifty or sixty buildings with sculptures which were built in London in the period between the wars. Some others of the period such as those at the Gas and Electricity showrooms at Hornsey the Fire Station at Lambeth the cinema in Shaftesbury Avenue Derry and Toms store in Kensington High Streeet and various other buildings in the City and Whitehall are also important examples of their type each with unique individual features and each contributing something special to an overview of architectural sculpture of the period. The aim here however has not been completeness for its own sake but rather to include as many buildings with their sculptures which demonstrate the total range of the evidence. Mention must also be made of several buildings which do not include sculpures with a figurative component but whose architectonic form is enlivened - indeed complemented -by abstract decorative elements. These might include such buildings as the D H Evans store in Oxford Street 22B and others though there are rather fewer of these in London than there are in some cities in the USA such as Los Angeles or New York see USA bibliography . There are hybrids which combine figurative and decorative elements as for example the Daily Telegraph building in Fleet Street 16 the Adelphi 19 and Wandsworth Town Hall 4 All of these have decorative elements which are an integral part of the designs of the facades as well as having a figurative sculptural component. An interesting case is that of the Senate House of the University of London Malet Street 22C . which was designed by Charles Holden in 1938 to incorporate eight relief panels by Henry Moore Cork 1985 293-4 . These were to have been seated figures holding books which Moore considered an appropriate symbol for a University quoted in Cork ibid 293 . These .
