Skip to main content
Bernard MEADOWS comments on Moore's work from the 1920s until the immediate post-war years. "He was building up a sort of form-repertoire...There was an authenticity to the way that he saw people...and recorded what he saw...He was enlarging his experience and he was enlarging the experience of all the people who would come along and look at his work...The only fashion was originality...He knew all the Surrealist people...He was really in the middle of the Avant-Garde at that time...It became much more conventional...After the war...I continued working with him for short periods...In the 1940s and 50s the feeling of exploration and adventure was lessened compared with the 30s and the 20s but every so often he came up...with works which really display his old originality".
