Barbarians

"Through the ages," recounts Britain's foremost sculptor, Anthony Caro, "civilizations have often been subjected to unexpected assaults from warrior tribes. This happened when the Tartars overran Asia and the Huns and Goths plundered Rome. My Barbariansallude to this history." Comprised of six life-size figures on horseback and one female figure in a chariot, Caro's recently-completed sculpture evokes a timeless, mythic character. Made of wood, leather, steel and ceramic elements, The Barbariansmarks a new departure in the artist's distinguished career.Hickey, Dave is the author of 'Barbarians' with ISBN 9780971384460 and ISBN 0971384460.
