	Frank Dobson (sculptor) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Dobson began as a painter, and his early work was influenced by cubism, vorticism, and futurism.
		While Dobson was one of the most esteemed artists of his time, after his death his reputation declined with the move towards postmodernism and conceptual art.
		Dobson is now seen as one of the most important British sculptors of the 20th century.

	Frank Dobson MP
		Frank Dobson, Mr Milburn's predecessor and a critic of the foundation policy, said: "Those of us who were doubtful asked what would happen to trusts that fell by the wayside as it was eminently predictable they would...'
		He said: “Frank Dobson kept saying we would pay our staff more and that that would damage the NHS, but it hasn’t happened yet and it’s not going to.
		Dobson was given one of the most critical posts in Government -especially a Labour one- Minister of Health.

	James Dobson - The religious right's new kingmaker. By Michael Crowley
		Dobson is now America's most influential evangelical leader, with a following reportedly greater than that of either Falwell or Robertson at his peak.
		Dobson further contends that homosexuality, especially in such an early stage, can be "cured." His ministry runs a program called Love Won Out that seeks to convert "ex-gays" to heterosexuality.
		To Dobson, gay marriage is a looming catastrophe of epic proportions.

	Oliver Kamm: Labour's master of inaction
		Dobson speaks with authority: he is the single biggest net vote-loser Labour has fielded in the capital in recent years.
		Dobson once volunteered that he tended not to bother writing to his constituents, on the ground that they formed a largely transient population.
		As a minister, Dobson allowed medical priorities to be distorted by an emphasis on measurable targets (particularly on waiting lists) rather than on treating clinically more urgent cases.

	Guardian Unlimited Politics \| Aristotle \| Frank Dobson

		Mr Dobson is a committed politician who gave up a well paid, secure job in the electricity industry, initially becoming a Camden councillor and then leader of Camden council in London.

	Dobson rejects 'his nibs' Blair
		FRANK DOBSON last night blamed the Labour Party for damaging his London mayor campaign and costing him crucial support, in a final attempt to distance himself from the Millbank machine.
		Mr Dobson referred dismissively to the Prime Minister as "his nibs", in an interview with The New Statesman, as Tony Blair again offered his endorsement to Mr Dobson in a public photo-call.
		Mr Dobson's comments are part of an 11th hour attempt to boost his chances as most polls show him trailing Mr Livingstone among party activists.

	BBC Online - On The Record - Interviews
		There are still questions as to whether Frank Dobson has thought out a coherent set of policies to beat off the challenges of Glenda Jackson and Ken Livingstone and to go on to become Mayor.
		DOBSON: If you ask most Londoners the issue that most effects their quality of life, the answer you will hear most frequently is crime.
		Frank Dobson is now apparently wavering somewhere between these two positions and frankly it will be seen as an enormous test of what the distance between Frank Dobson and the Labour Party nationally as to what his view is on this public private partnership which is enormously unpopular.

		DOBSON: Yes, but our commitments in the manifesto were that we would try to produce a commissioning system in which all the GPs and all the community nurses and the other professionals in an area would be level pegging.
		DOBSON: It's part of the total and half the GPs have had limits to their budgets, genuine limits to their budgets and most of the others have had notional limits to their budgets but again I can't give you full details of what we're preposing in the White Paper.
		DOBSON: People should be reassured about that, they won't be told by their GP, you can't have the drugs that I think are good for you because I haven't got any money left.

		FRANK DOBSON MP: Well we believe that it was wrong for Shell to propose to just dump their spare equipment, their clapped out equipment in the sea and we think it was wrong for the government to allow them to do it.
		DOBSON: We would say that the promises that the oil companies made and successive governments have made about the North Sea, should be honoured, the stuff should be brought ashore, broken up ashore which would create jobs and it would be clean solution.
		DOBSON: Well Shell should be told that they've got to do it, it's quite straight forward, they could be told that they've got to do it, they need government permission to do what they've doing, they should bring it ashore, they should break it up, they should separate out all the dangerous materials.

	BBC News \| Battle for London \| Candidates \| Frank Dobson
		Frank Dobson scraped home as Labour’s official candidate for mayor in February- taking just 51% of the vote in the party’s electoral college.
		Since he started his political career as the leader of Camden council, the job of London mayor might have appeared a post Frank Dobson would have naturally aspired to once it had been created by the Labour government.
		Mr Dobson was appointed as health secretary after Tony Blair won power in the 1997 election and remained there until he eventually decided to run for mayor.

	MODERN BRITISH ART - Frank Dobson biography
		He worked in both bronze and stone (he was one of the earliest to revive direct carving) and his sophisticated stylizations made him one of the pioneers of modern British sculpture.
		The monumental dignity of his work was in the Classical tradition of Maillol, and like him Dobson found the female nude the most satisfactory subject for three-dimensional composition, as in Cornucopia (University of Hull, 1925-7), described by Clive Bell as the finest piece of sculpture by an Englishman since-I don’t know when’.
		With the rise of a younger generation led by Henry Moore, however, Dobson’s prestige as an artist dropped and he was regarded as dated’; the memorial exhibition of his work organized by the Arts Council in 1966 was not well received.

		DOBSON: It's a huge step forward and it's what the profession has been asking for so we're delivering what they want and I'm confident it will mean better patient care and a more straightforward life for the professionals.
		DOBSON: Well it will certainly consider that but I mean you are reflecting the views of I think a fairly narrow group of people involved in this because it isn't the case that the introduction of new drugs is necessarily more expensive.
		DOBSON: We're spending more on pharmaceutical products and they're doing a lot of people a great deal of good, and what we've got to do, and that's one of the things that NICE will do, will be to look at them as they get.....

	Oliver Kamm: Leadership
		However, Frank Dobson, the former health secretary, said Labour members were in no mood to forgive Mr Blair.
		Being a fair-minded and impartial enemy of that party, I wrote to Dobson once more to point out that if he behaved with other constituents as he had with me, he was unlikely to be in possession of his parliamentary seat for much longer.
		Dobson, as opposition employment spokesman, greeted the news in the House of Commons by denouncing the figures as 'a fiddle or a freak'.

		The Right Honourable Frank Gordon Dobson (born March 15, 1940) is a British politician and memberof Parliament for Holborn and StPancras, for Labour.

	The Battle for London Mayor
		Frank Dobson has caused controversy with a mass mailing to members of the Labour Party across the capital, which apparently was made possible with address information supplied by his supporters.
		Writing in Tribune on 29th October, the former Oscar-winning actress and MP for Hampstead & Highgate, Glenda Jackson, attacks who those briefed the press that she was about to retire from the Mayoral race.
		A recent poll actually put her ahead of Dobson in the popularity ratings amongst Labour Party members and she seems determined to stay in the running.

		Yes, the fact that Frank Dobson was viewed as a reluctant conscript to Labour's campaign was a big factor but it is only part of the story.
		It could be argued that Frank Dobson did so poorly because he was not on-message: he made no secret of his distaste for the selection process and appeared irritable in the media spotlight.
		These are people who would otherwise have voted and campaigned for Frank Dobson and it was a shame that their support was lost.

	Pasquale Iannetti Art Gallery - Frank Dobson
		Frank Dobson was born in Clerkenwell, England in 1886.
		Although known mostly for his unique, figurative, sculpture, Dobson's early work with landscape and the nude form has been praised for its sensuality and technical mastery.
		In his autobiography, Dobson attributes much of his style to the influence of postimpressionism; most importantly by the works of Gauguin whose art often called upon images from non western culture.

		Frank Dobson's career is one of the most unusual of modern politics, with personal success sacrificed entirely for the sake of the party.
		A leading figure in Labour politics for many years, sitting on the frontbench for 15 years up until 1997, he entered Tony Blair's first cabinet as health secretary, where he was responsible for laying down structural reforms of the NHS.
		After Ken Livingstone's populist campaign, Frank Dobson came a humiliating third in the election, and returned to the backbenches.

	Camden Cycling Campaign - Frank Dobson and cycling
		Unfortunately Mr Dobson gave his substantial political weight to a small, vocal group that opposed the cycle track on the grounds that it would be unsafe to have the cycle track pass in front of Coram's Field children's playground.
		Given Mr Dobson's determined opposition to the track on Guildford St, we contacted Mr Dobson to ask for his support for ensuring that the alternative was passed by Camden council.
		No doubt Mr Dobson's seat is safe, especially given, after his short career period of loyalty to the Labour leadership as Minister or Health and official opponent to Ken L, that he has become a leading critic of the government.

	NPG 6320; Sir (Francis) Osbert Sacheverell Sitwell, 5th Bt
		Dobson was widely regarded as an extremely promising sculptor, working in a modern idiom under the influence of Brancusi and Gaudier-Brzeska.
		Sitwell went for sittings in the artist's house in Manresa Road, Chelsea, almost every day for a period of three months in late 1921 and early 1922, just at the time when he, his sister Edith and their lodger William Walton were planning the musical entertainment Facade.
