Doctoral Thesis submitted for the award of Doctor of Philosophy of Loughborough University, September 2018.
Veasey's thesis examines whether certain Academicians (Siegfried Charoux, Frank Dobson, Maurice Lambert, Alfred Machin, John Skeapking and Charles Wheeler) variously engaged with pedagogy, community, exhibition practice and sculpture for the state, to access state patronage in the post-war period. The inspiration for this thesis began with the illustrated catalogue for the 'Open Air Exhibition of Sculpture' at Battersea Park (0005677) in 1948 which Veasey based her Master's thesis on: Humanising the Landscape: The outdoor placement of twentieth-century sculpture and its aesthetic impact upon the viewer (0023149).
In the introduction she quotes: "My experience as a volunteer for the HMF archive (2015-2016) provided a detailed understanding of the materials held; these relate not only to Henry Moore but to many of the contemporary sculptors and art executives with whom Moore was in contact. Henry Moore is mentioned several times throughout the text The archives at HMF and at HMI are also thanked for providing access to material for research and advice from members of staff.
