From England, Geg Butler came to prominence after World War II at the same time as sculptors Lynn Chadwick, Germaine Richier, and Alberto Giacometti. Throughout the 1940s, Butler made forged and welded-steel constructions, similar to those of David Smith. In the 1950s, he turned away from open structures to enclosed volumes with a more obvious human presence, often seeming to be caught in a suspended wiry structure.
