Benedict Chukwukadibia Enwonwu M.B.E (Nigerian, 1917-1994)Bust of the Reverend Professor James Welchwood38 x 20 x 25cm (14 15/16 x 7 7/8 x 9 13/16in). excluding base.Footnotes:The Rev. James William Welch (1900-1967) was born in Sunderland, England. He served in the Honourable Artillery Company during the final year of the First World War. He then obtained a first class degree in Theology at Cambridge University, before publishing a thesis entitled 'West African Education' in 1924. Having completed his studies, Welch travelled to Isoko, Southern Nigeria, to work with local education authorities and put his theories into practice. In 1935, he returned to England to take up a position as the director of religious broadcasting at the BBC. Welch was introduced to Enwonwu when he was appointed Professor of Religious Studies at University College, Ibadan in 1948, a post he would hold until 1954. He had a keen appreciation for the arts, and was instrumental in the commissioning of Enwonwu's most accomplished wooden sculpture The Risen Christ (1953-54), for the Chapel of the Resurrection in Ibadan. Significantly the present lot is carved from the same Iroko wood as The Risen Christ and therefore likely that the artist gave this sculpture to Welch in thanks.For further information on this lot please visit Bonhams.com
