Unit 1. The Modern Movement in English Architecture Painting and Sculpture by Herbert Read. Cassell and Company Ltd., 1934
Rare title focusing on the Unit One group founded in the 1930s. Including Henry Moore, Barbara Hepworth, John Armstrong, Edward Burra, Tristram Hillier, Paul Nash, Ben Nicholson, Wells Coates and Edward Wadsworth. 'Unit One is the name of a new group of English artists - painters, sculptors and architects - which was formed early in the year 1933. It is not a group of new artists: most of the eleven constituent members already have established reputations. Nor does it stand for any new principle in art. It arose almost spontaneously among a few artists well-known to each other, out of a consciousness of their mutual sympathies and common necessities.' (Herbert Read writing in the Introduction). From the collection of the British artist Bernard Meyers (1925–2007).
