A dentist who saw Egyptian sculpture at the British Museum and taught himself to carve.
Art & designFree
Ronald Moody was born in Jamaica, came to London in 1923 to train as a dentist, and changed course after walking into the Egyptian galleries at the British Museum; he taught himself to carve, and by 1938 was successful enough to move to Paris. He fled it two days before the city fell, leaving his sculptures behind, and took sixteen months to get back — down to Marseille, over the Pyrenees, through Spain — arriving with pleurisy that never left him. He worked in west London for the rest of his life, in wood first and then concrete and resin. This is the fullest account of him yet, taking in the poetry, the writing and the broadcasts as well as the sculpture. Touring from The Hepworth Wakefield. Free.
