Huxley-Jones was a sculptor in a variety of materials who studied at Wolverhampton
School of Art under Robert Emerson, 1924-9, and at the Royal College of
Art, 1929-33, under Richard Garbe and Gilbert Ledward. He was married to the
sculptor Gwyneth Holt, from whom this drawing was acquired. He exhibited RA, NEAC, RSA, SSA and RBSA.
Huxley-Jones’ sculpture is generally smooth and simple in profile, as
depicted in Arthur T Broadbent’s monograph Sculpture Today in Great Britain 1940-43, and in Eric Newton’s companion volume British Sculpture 1944-46.
Huxley-Jones completed a large volume of public work, at the BBC
Television Centre, London, in Chelmsford Cathedral, outside Hornsey
Library and in London’s Hyde Park. Aberdeen and Wolverhampton Art
