Each piece depicts one of the Four Apostles—Matthew, Mark, Luke, and John—and is signed and dated 1970, making them among Clack's final creations. The figures are mounted on stable marble bases and showcase the artist's strong focus on religious and traditional themes.\u003cbr\u003e\nClack studied at the South London Technical School of Art (known as the Lambeth School of Art) in the early 1930s and exhibited at the Whitechapel Art Gallery in 1933 and 1936. A member of the Royal Society of British Sculptors, he won the Otto Beit Prize in 1947 and went on to create several notable public works, including pieces for Wells Cathedral and the ‘Diana of the Treetops' fountain in Green Park, London.\u003cbr\u003e\nBecause these sculptures were produced in limited quantities, finding another identical set is extraordinarily unlikely. Their rarity, combined with both historical and artistic significance, makes this quartet highly desirable for collectors of religious or mid-century sculpture.\u003cbr\u003e\nCondition\u003cbr\u003e\nOne sculpture (marked \"Luke\") has a chip on the back.\u003cbr\u003e\nOtherwise in excellent vintage condition with natural age-related wear.\u003cbr\u003e\nPlease review all photos closely—they are part of the description and show the exact condition.\u003cbr\u003e\nShipping \u0026amp; Handling\u003cbr\u003e\nItems will be carefully packed to ensure safe transit.\u003cbr\u003e\nShipment includes tracking (and insurance where applicable).\u003cbr\u003e\nShipping costs cover packing materials, labor, and postage.\u003cbr\u003e\nFeel free to reach out with any questions or if you need additional photos.
