Exhibition Talk – ‘The Handicaps of Exile’: Fred Kormis and Refugee Sculptors in Britain, c. 1933–45
When Fritz (later Fred) Kormis arrived in England (via Holland) in 1934 he was among more than 300 artists, around one-sixth of them sculptors, who found refuge from Nazism in Britain. This talk situates Kormis within this wider context and among a cohort of refugee sculptors who included Benno Elkan, Georg Ehrlich and Willi Soukop, among many others.
