<p>Information provided by the estate of Ronald Moody:</p> <p>'By the time he finished Self-Portrait 2 in June 1937, the artist was utterly dedicated to wood and had virtually abandoned bronze. He therefore decided to try another version and, within a month, produced this mask in elm. The difference between the two versions is remarkable, even though they are almost identical in concept. The earlier, though life-size, gives the impression of being much smaller, and the smooth stylisation of the material seems to add impassivity and sombreness to the whole. The second is more expansive, both in size and feeling, and the grain of the wood subtly underlines the contour of the face, giving it animation and character. Greatly encouraged by this, Moody eagerly turned to wood for future portraits and for the next nine years used nothing else. </p> <p>On 4.1.39, it was shipped from Paris to the Harmon Foundation in New York, for inclusion in exhibitions in America, where it was shownas A Mask. It remained in the Foundation's custody throughout the war and for some time afterwards.</p> <p>On 2.3.49, the artist wrote to Marie Seton listing the works he wished her to bring back to England. Amongst these was: "Another mask, wood, based on my head (about life size)".'</p>

<p>Label from '[un]seen [un]heard]' display intervention 2020: "This bust is a portrait of Paul Robeson an African American athlete, performing artist and activist created by Jamaican-born fellow Black artist Ronald Moody. During his time spent in Britain, Robeson developed a deep bond with the labour movement and was particularly supportive of the miners of Wales." </p> <p>This portrait was commissiond by the DDR Akademie der Kunst, Berlin, but political mayhem forced them to renege. Despite this and Robeson's unpredictability as a sitter, it was ready in time for the SPS 'Human Rights' exhibition.</p> <p>This dramatic head was the last of five portraits in this medium, which are essays in the juxtaposition of textural effects and patins. In each, the skin has the nubbly surface, developed during the artist's experimentation with concrete, but in these works it is more varied and much finer and contrasts subtly with other textures he achieves. Here honeycomb texture of the hair compliments the heavier texture of the skin, infusing the whole with immense tactility.</p>

<p>Information provided by the estate of Moody: 'The artist's first self-portrait in bronze so displeased him, that he destroyed it. This second version pleased him no better. By the time he finished it in June 1937, he was utterly dedicated to wood and had virtually abandoned bronze. He therefore decided to try another version in elm and, within a month, produced Self-Portrait 3. For the next nine years, all his portraits were in wood.</p> <p>When Marie Seton went to live in America, she put this mask into storage, together with several other works the artist had left in her care. Although it is mentioned in her letter of 27.10.42 to Cox & King's, authorising Helene Moody to collect them, it remained with Marie Seton until her death in 1985 and was restored to the artist's collection by her executor Pamela Cullen in 1989.'</p>
