Emily Young FRBS (born 1951) is a British sculptor. She is considered one of the foremost sculptors working in Britain today〔(【引用サイトリンク】 Emily Young . ) 〕 and has been called "Britain's greatest living stone sculptor". She was born in London into a family of artists, writers and politicians. Her grandmother, Kathleen Scott, was a colleague of Auguste Rodin, and widow of the polar explorer Robert Falcon Scott, who subsequently married Emily's paternal grandfather, the politician and writer Edward Hilton Young, 1st Baron Kennet. Her father, Wayland Hilton Young, 2nd Baron Kennet, was also a politician, conservationist and writer. Her mother is the writer and commentator Elizabeth Young. Her uncle was the ornithologist, conservationist and painter, founder of the Wildfowl & Wetlands Trust, Sir Peter Scott. ==Biography== Emily Young received her secondary education at Putney High School, Holland Park School, Friends School Saffron Walden, and the King Alfred School, London. First interested in painting, she spent her youth in London, Wiltshire and Italy before she attended the Chelsea School of Art for one term in 1968 and also studied at Saint Martin's School of Art. In the late 1960s and '70s, she travelled widely, visiting Afghanistan, Pakistan, India, France and Italy, Africa and the Middle East and lived in the United States, where she studied with the sculptor Robert White. While at Holland Park School in 1966, she became a regular at the nearby London Free School night sessions around the Notting Hill area, which brought her into contact with many in the UK Underground.〔Barry Miles (2010), ''London Calling: A Countercultural History of London since 1945'', p. 188.〕 She may have been the inspiration for the song "See Emily Play", written by Pink Floyd's Syd Barrett. During the 1970s and '80s, she lived and worked with Simon Jeffes, proprietor of the Penguin Cafe Orchestra and had one son, Arthur, born in 1978. She produced the artwork for various album covers for the PCO, including ''Music from the Penguin Cafe''. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Emily Young」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
