David McFall R.A. (1919 - 1988)

This website is dedicated to the work of David McFall R.A.  He was one of the most versatile 20th Century sculptors, equally proficient when direct carving in stone, modelling uncannily characteristic portraits or producing powerfully emotional reliefs.  He was a figurative sculptor, refusing to compromise his style to the fashion of the day.

Interviewed in Finland in 1967 David McFall said:

"A good sculpture is a document which must be able to speak for itself for centuries".
