Brian Taylor F.R.B.S F.S.P.S (1935-2013) - Plaster - Bust of the Horse of Selene, on contemporary stand, 34ins x 33ins high
Note: A Fellow of the Royal Society of British Sculptors and Vice Principal of the Society of Portrait Sculptors, Brian Taylor was a British sculptor, particularly well regarded for his studies of both human and animal forms. His love of the medium developed steadily in the years to follow, and in 1958 Taylor won a three-year scholarship to study sculpture in Rome. Italy proved to be a great influence on the artist, with both ancient and modernist sculpture fuelling his formative appreciation of sculptural styles, from life-size marble carvings to more modest clay portraits. The artist taught at the Camberwell School of Art between the years of 1965–1984. Horses were of particular interest, the Burano Horse among his most celebrated works, and his other monumental bronze sculptures featuring regularly in both group and solo exhibitions in England and Italy.
