Description

KEN KENDALL’s deep desire to live by his
art took him around the world – through
thick and very often thin. For forty years his
response to what he saw took form, initially
in ceramic and terracotta then flourishing
in bronze, with many sculptures cast by the
artist himself. From life-size works to cottonreel
people, Ken’s humour and fundamental
understanding of the human condition
transformed his materials, and eventually –
after years struggling to make a living as a
sculptor – brought him artistic recognition
and an international following.
Told in his own words, A Bronze Affair is
the story of how Kendall went from school
teacher to Franciscan monk and master
sculptor. It takes us into a creative mind,
shows how religion sustained the man, and
where the artist found inspiration.
