(How Moore came to resume drawing for its own sake in a note from Henry MOORE to Clark entitled The Black Drawings. Arising from graphic work particularly Stonehenge and admiration for Seurat's drawings together with connection to Coal Mine Drawings. Not drawn from reality now. Connection with some internal-external sculptures. Satisfaction in the technical process).
