Reg Butler

Reg Butler

Reginald Cotterell Butler (28 April 1913 - 23 October 1981) was an English sculptor. He studied and lectured at the Architectural Association School of Architecture in London from 1937 to 1939. He was a conscientious objector during the Second World War, being exempted from military service conditional upon setting up a small blacksmith business repairing farm implements. After winning the 'Unknown Political Prisoner' competition in 1953 he became one of the best known sculptors during the 1950's and 1960's, and taught at the Slade School of Art.

His later work is sometimes derided and consists of lifelike models of female figures, such as "Girl on a Round Base", [ [http://www.tate.org.uk/servlet/ViewWork?cgroupid=999999961&workid=66714&searchid=9015 Reg Butler 1913-1981] Tate Online] that have something in common with Hans Bellmer and the sculpture of Allen Jones and prefigure the work of Ron Mueck.

Today many of his works are held by the Museum of Modern Art in New York and Tate Gallery in London.
