Art must be the manifestation of some vital force coming from the dark, caught by the imagination and translated by the artist's ability and skill … Whatever the final shape, the force behind is … indivisible. When we philosophise upon this force we lose sight of it. The intellect alone is too clumsy to grasp it."

A LARGE AND DIVERSE LEGACY
Chadwick explains, "The important thing in my figures is always the attitude - what the figures are expressing through their actual stance. They talk, as it were, and this is something a lot of people don't understand"
-Chadwick in an interview with Barrie Gavin, broadcast on HTV West, 1991.
