Biography

(1912-1993)

Denis Mitchell was initially a painter but became renowned for his polished bronze sculptures in the 1940's. Mitchell's first sculptures began in wood, slate and stone but after working closely with Barbara Hepworth, as her principle assistant between the years of 1949-1959, his style turned to bronze.
Mitchell was a member of the Penwith Society which formed in 1948 and was based in St. Ives. It was formed by abstract artists, who were breaking away from the St Ives Society of Artists, headed by Barbara Hepworth and Ben Nicholson.

The snapshot sold last night for $59.00 on eBay. If the original sculpture were still around, I guess the price to be in the $5K+ range, possibly more
