Alloway makes a brief mention of Moore's Shelter drawings as a hinge between his myth-oriented early work and the more particularized human image of his later sculpture such as the postwar family groups" which "seem to symbolize the optimistic phase of postwar reconstruction... It is the beginning of Moore's later career as public sculptor...".
