This piece by Bernard Meadows (19 February 1915 – 12 January 2005) is a bronze wall relief sculpture in two parts. Made in an edition of six, each piece is stamped with the artist’s mark, ‘M’.

Piece 1 measures 62cm high by 36cm wide. Piece 2 is 72cm high by 35cm wide. Both are abstract yet hint at human forms. Each figure gestures strongly, arms extended as if pointing or directing.

The style is bold and angular. The forms suggest movement and authority. Set on the wall, they create shadows and depth.

The two directors seem to interact. Their gestures add tension and energy. The piece captures the creative force behind the camera.

Meadows distills direction into pure shape. The result is minimal, dramatic, and striking.

Two Directors Reliefs is one of Bernard Meadows’ most significant sculptures. Marking a pivotal shift in his work following a 1960 trip to Italy. This journey redirected his artistic focus from animals to humans. Moving away from depicting ‘damaged’ and vulnerable figures, Meadows began to explore themes of human aggression.

The sculpture was inspired by a photograph of director Luchino Visconti on the set of his 1963 film “The Leopard,” where Visconti is seen fiercely pointing ahead with his arm extended.
