Over the years he moved from his early Cubist-inspired sculpture to a more lyrical style based on the female nude form. He also produced a series of notable portrait busts. His work was praised by Roger Fry as ‘true and pure sculpture’ and the critic Clive Bell described his Cornucopia as ‘the finest piece of sculpture which has been produced by an Englishman’
After World War II he was appointed professor of Sculpture at the Royal College of Art and awarded the CBE.

'Noon was originally modelled in terracotta in 1935-6, in an edition of three, one of which is in the Tate. It features two girls, intimate friends, perhaps lovers, but here in the grip of serenity rather than passion. This classical pagan figure group is substantial and grounded, very satisfying. The terracotta has now been cast in bronze in an edition of 10, fulfilling its sculptural potential and what was doubtless Dobson’s original intention.'
