Your support helps us to tell the story
From reproductive rights to climate change to Big Tech, The Independent is on the ground when the story is developing. Whether it's investigating the financials of Elon Musk's pro-Trump PAC or producing our latest documentary, 'The A Word', which shines a light on the American women fighting for reproductive rights, we know how important it is to parse out the facts from the messaging.
At such a critical moment in US history, we need reporters on the ground. Your donation allows us to keep sending journalists to speak to both sides of the story.
The Independent is trusted by Americans across the entire political spectrum. And unlike many other quality news outlets, we choose not to lock Americans out of our reporting and analysis with paywalls. We believe quality journalism should be available to everyone, paid for by those who can afford it.
Your support makes all the difference.Henri Gaudier-Brzeska was one of those romantic and tragic figures whose reputation was assured by dying young and at the height of his talents. His sculpting career lasted just three years, but produced an incredible 80 sculptures (including Figure, 1913, right) and more than 2,000 drawings - an irresistible combination for art historians and especially dealers - a real body of work and the ever-present whiff of what might have been. There was a run of books and exhibitions three years ago to mark the 80th anniversary of his death, and this week London's Mercury Gallery opens a new show which includes 15 previously unseen drawings from a newly discovered sketchbook.
