Opis

The third edition of The Nobile Folios explores the bronze Linked Figures, sculpted by Kenneth Armitage in 1949. The work is set alongside Aristophanes' celebrated speech on the origin of love in Plato's Symposium. Linked Figures is a marvellous multilayered bronze conceived early in Armitage's career, yet a work that in many ways captures his complete oeuvre. Two figures as one (or perhaps one figure as two) play against each other creating, simultaneously, harmony and discord. The folio is an audacious attempt to reflect and to recreate on paper the inherent tension of this highly-textured three- dimensional work. It does so by means of bold photography and stimulating layout, and, of course, through the juxtaposition of words. The great Athenian playwright - who thought that originally humans were brawny globular creatures equipped with four hands, four legs, two faces on a circular neck, and comprised of three sexes -creates a magnificent and entertaining backdrop that allows a fresh reading of Linked Figures
