sculptors and architects of remembrance
|
The latest reference work sculptors and architects of remembrance is the fourth book written by Mark Quinlan. It is a companion to the volumes Remembrance and British War Memorials. Given the growing interest in all aspects of the war memorial issue, one piece of the jigsaw that has been consistently overlooked is the lives of those who designed and carried out the work.
This book therefore consists of single pages of biography of the 124 sculptors, architects and artists - all of whom, over the last three centuries, have sculpted Britain's war memorials, military statuary, funerary monuments and designed the nation's war cemeteries.
Dealing with each individual in chronological order, this book commences with the virtuoso woodcarver Grinling Gibbons and concludes with the lives of seven still-living distinguished sculptors.

These two books represent the culmination of four years research by the author Mark Quinlan.
It is hoped that the two companion volumes will become an invaluable source of information for those interested in the subjects.
Both publications are now available from Amazon and links to them can be found on their respective details pages along with publication information.
Further information and extracts can be found on this site and we hope you find these useful. Also included are the full indexes of both publications and short biographies of historical figures.
