Help 1966

Editor: So, this bronze sculpture, "Help," by Bernard Meadows, it's just so... angular, yet there's this vulnerability to the rounded form wedged between those brutal blocks. What do you make of it? Curator: It's Meadows wrestling with the anxieties of his time, wouldn't you say? The post-war era, that sense of fractured existence, of being caught, almost crushed, between opposing forces. It's a cry for help, yes, but also a testament to resilience. Does that resonate with you? Editor: Definitely! It's both unsettling and strangely hopeful. Thanks for untangling that for me. Curator: My pleasure! Art's a mirror; it's meant to provoke thought, not just admiration.
