Examining for the first time the life and work of the sculptor Matt Rugg (1935 2020), Michael Bird s impeccably researched text vividly charts Rugg s parallel careers as artist and teacher in the context of developments in creative pedagogy in Britain during the second half of the twentieth century, and their implications for practice and teaching today.Highlighting the impressive range of Rugg s output, from his distinctive painted drawings to largescale metal constructions, and the unifying strands in his thought, this book skilfully draws together Rugg s work, ideas and inspirational role as an educator. Lavishly illustrated, it charts successive phases of Ruggs continuous experimentation with found industrial materials and form, and the subtle interrelationship in his work between two and three dimensions. Dr Harriet Sutcliffes research into the Basic Course led by Victor Pasmore and Richard Hamilton at Kings College, Newcastle, in the 1950s and 1960s provides fascinating insights into both Ruggs oeuvre and wider developments in British art practice and pedagogy.
