Levitação / LevitationSource: Richardmartinart.com.auby Jonathan Turner, the award-winning Rome-based art critic and curator November 2009 Craig Ruddy captures the sharp light of Rio de
Janeiro as it is reflected by the rippling sea, bouncing off the white sands to

a response is typical of artists working in London, where the standards
and traditions of the past are ever present. Some of Moore’s “giants”
were Sir Jacob Epstein, Barbara Hepworth, Graham Sutherland and Ben
Nicholson, who played a big part in the resurgence of English art in
the mid-20th century.
