Kenneth Armitage (1916-2002) was a British semi-abstract sculptor whose sense of humour enlivened his work in the 1950s and 60s, but this eventually prevented him from being able to let go of realism and his later works have a naff Pop quality that for me is far less successful.
These earlier works embody a playfulness that is just the right side of kitsch.
