One of Meadow's most important sculptures, Two Directors Reliefs belongs to a series of works by Bernard Meadows following a trip to Italy in 1960 which triggered a shift in his focus from animal to human. Now less interested in 'damaged' vulnerable figures, he began to explore human aggression.
A photograph of director Luchino Visconti with his arm extended as he fiercely points ahead while on the set of his film The Leopard (1963) is the inspiration behind the sculpture.
