Walking Figure IV was made in 1962. Clatworthy’s solo exhibition at the Waddington Galleries in 1965 showed some of these standing and walking figures, they are reminiscent of Alberto Giacometti and Germaine Richier’s tall elongated persons. Clatworthy was known for working rapidly in wet quick-drying plaster - It is a notoriously difficult material to work with and his manipulation of it resulted in characteristically tactile and intense surfaces.
