DOBSON, FRANK ), British sculptor, was born in London on Nov. 18, 1887. He received his early training with the sculptor W. Reynolds-Stephens, and later obtained a scholar ship at Hospitalfield, Arbroath, New Brunswick. After further study in the City and Guilds Schools at Kennington, London, he lived in Cornwall and worked with the granite cutters. He was thus technically well equipped for a sculptor's career. His early works, both in painting and sculpture—few of which now exist— show definitely the attraction of the first Post-Impressionist exhi bition held in London in i9o9. After war service he exhibited his first important work in stone "The Concertina Man" (1919), which was followed in 1921 by "Two Heads" in red Mansfield stone and the more complex Portland stone group "The Man Child." In 1923 he competed unsuccessfully for the Welsh Na tional Memorial at Cardiff with his recumbent figure, "Cambria." To the next two years belong the white marble figure of a woman (1924), the seated nude "Susanna" and "Morning" (1925). His portraits include the bronze bust of the Earl of Oxford and Asquith (1921), the polished brass head of Osbert Sitwell (1923) and the plaster head of a young girl (1925)—the two last named in the National Gallery of British Art—the bronze half-length of Lydia Lopokova (1924) and heads of L. H. Myers (1925), Robert McAlmonii and Robin Sinclair. He was a founder of the X Group, and in 1923 became president of the London Group.
