More Information16 February 1988 unedited interview made for 0011194. Continues from 0014184 on Kenneth Clark. Clark had a role which was chiefly as Director of the National Gallery...it changed later because he got involved in all sorts of other things...He was an impresario he knew how to present people...That sort of success was important to Henry...he had tremendous ambition...He's a very very complex person...he felt it essential to work and work the whole time". Meadows rejects notion that Moore's work portrays his working-class background or his experiences in World War 1. He explains how the shift from the slow process of carving to the use of bronze enabled Moore to carry on and enlarge his audience.For England and Moore: Bernard Meadows 3 and 4 see 0014186 and 0014200."
