EDITORS COMMENTS
Root Bodied Forth," a captivating sculpture created by Mitzi Solomon Cunliffe, graced the South Bank Exhibition site during the Festival of Britain in 1951. This historic photograph, archived by Historic England under the reference number BB96_02064, offers a glimpse into the past, showcasing the artistic flair and innovation that defined this landmark event. The Festival of Britain, held from May to September 1951, was a grand celebration of post-war British culture, science, and the arts. The South Bank Exhibition site, located on the south bank of the River Thames in London, served as the heart of this vibrant festival. It was here that Mitzi Solomon Cunliffe's "Root Bodied Forth" sculpture took center stage. The sculpture, titled "Root Bodied Forth," is a captivating work of art that embodies the organic and natural themes that were popular during the post-war period. The title itself suggests growth, emergence, and the power of nature. The photograph reveals the sculpture's intricate details, with its twisted, intertwining roots and branches reaching out towards the sky, creating a dynamic and engaging visual experience. The Festival of Britain was a pivotal moment in British cultural history, and the exhibition of "Root Bodied Forth" at the South Bank site was a testament to the creativity and artistic vision of the time. This photograph, preserved in the Historic England Archive, offers a valuable insight into this important chapter in British history and the role that art played in post-war recovery and regeneration. The sculpture's enduring presence at the Festival of Britain serves as a reminder of the power of art to inspire, heal, and bring people together in times of change and uncertainty. This photograph, and the story it tells, continues to captivate and intrigue viewers, offering a glimpse into the past and the rich artistic heritage of Britain.
