| dbo:abstract | Reginald Cotterell Butler (28. dubna 1913, , Hertfordshire – 23. října 1981, , Hertfordshire) byl britský sochař. (cs) Reginald Cotterell „Reg“ Butler (* 28. April 1913 in Buntingford, England; † 23. Oktober 1981 in Berkhamsted, England) war ein britischer Bildhauer, der der Bildhauerei nach dem Zweiten Weltkrieg neue Impulse gab. (de) Reginald Cotterell Butler (28 April 1913 – 23 October 1981) was an English sculptor. He was born at Bridgefoot House, Buntingford, Hertfordshire to Frederick William Butler (1880–1937) and Edith (1880–1969), daughter of blacksmith William Barltrop, of The Forge, Takeley, Essex. His parents were the Master and Matron of the Buntingford Union Workhouse. Frederick Butler, formerly a police constable, was a relative of the poet William Butler Yeats; Edith was of Anglo-French descent. Butler studied and lectured at the Architectural Association School of Architecture in London from 1937 to 1939. He was a conscientious objector during the Second World War, being exempted from military service conditional upon setting up a small blacksmith business repairing farm implements. After winning the 'Unknown Political Prisoner' competition in 1953 he became one of the best known sculptors during the 1950s and 1960s, and also taught at the Slade School of Art. Butler's later work consists of lifelike models of female figures, such as Girl on a Round Base, that have something in common with Hans Bellmer and the sculpture of Allen Jones and prefigure the work of Ron Mueck. Many of his works are held by the Museum of Modern Art in New York City and Tate Gallery in London. Butler was featured in the 1964 documentary film, "5 British Sculptors (Work and Talk)", by American filmmaker Warren Forma. Butler married Joan Child in 1938; by his second wife, Rosemary (née Young; 1930–2019), a sculptor, who had been his student and later assistant, he had a son, Creon Adrian John Cotterell Butler, later a diplomat, and daughter, Cortina Maxine Ann Cotterell Butler, a director of literature for the British Council. He died in Berkhamsted. (en) Reginald Cotterell Butler (Buntingford, 28 aprile 1913 – Berkhamsted, 23 ottobre 1981) è stato uno scultore inglese. Reg Butler, scultura Ha studiato all'Architectural Association School of Architecture a Londra dal 1937 al 1939. Il suo percorso artistico lo condusse verso le tendenze innovative delle nuove generazioni inglesi. Butler si distinse per la attenzione alla essenzialità della linea, in grado di conferire un certo lirismo fantastico sia alle figure sia alle strutture che le sorreggono e le circondano. Se in una prima fase venne influenzato dagli insegnamenti di Henry Moore, successivamente si accostò all'arte di Calder. Durante la seconda guerra mondiale assunse la posizione di obiettore di coscienza. La sua carriera subì una svolta con la vittoria ottenuta al concorso di scultura patrocinato dall'Institute of Contemporary Arts londinese nel 1953; in questa occasione lo scultore presentò un bozzetto del monumento dedicato al Prigioniero Politico Ignoto. Il bozzetto e i relativi disegni oltre ad alcuni modelli vennero presentati l'anno seguente alla Biennale di Venezia. L'opera fu caratterizzata dalla evidenziazione delle tre figure chiave contemplanti verso coordinate significative avvolte da un simbolico reticolato. Grazie alla notorietà ottenuta con le sue opere divenne insegnante alla Slade School of Art. Tra le sue opere più recenti si annoverarono le Donne in piedi e gli Studi per la grande Torre che lo traghettarono verso elementi simbolici, geniali, ironici. La sua tematica ricorrente fu la presentazione di figure femminili come la Ragazza su una base rotonda cariche di umorismo che evidenziarono una vena creativa in comune con Hans Bellmer e Allen Jones. Molte opere di Reg Butler sono presenti nel Museum of Modern Art di New York e la Tate Gallery di Londra.
