7-8 BOWNESS Alan. Introduction.
(Outlines the 135 works documented which date between 1980 and 1985, together with a selection of works made during this time but conceived during the previous decade. "Titles should not be taken too seriously. Moore's is a very unliterary art". Moore was able to feel that he had completed his life's work although a sadness is seen in his last years. "Moore's sculpture always centered on a very limited number of subjects to which he returned again and again with new formal innovation. His art is one of durability permanence: a statement about the eternal relationship of man to man and of man to the natural environment in which we live. Fundamental is the image of woman as regenerator providing the continuity of human existence").
