‘Donkey’ was originally commissioned for Dartington Hall, Devon, 1935–1939, where Soukop taught in the 1930s and 1940s. This cast, taken from the earlier version, was bought with funds from Maurice Ash’s Elmgrant Trust. This is one of Soukop’s simplest pieces. Although Sir Fredrick Gibberd lamented the damage caused to the collection by climbing children, in the case of the ‘Donkey’, he wrote, ‘the resultant polishing adds to its interest’, whereas Moore’s ‘Family Group’ in stone ‘has been scratched and mutilated’. Pittmans Field is a development by H. T. Cadbury-Brown, who taught on the relationship between architecture and sculpture at the Royal College.
