More InformationGIBSON Eric. The retrospective modernist.Moore succeeded in bringing British sculpture into the 20th century...and played an important role in the wider context of modern sculpture... It offers no slight to Moore to observe that there was always something traditional about him... Moore's themes, too, seemed not to belong to the repertory of modern sculpture... Moore's most radical innovation, in fact, was his perforation and eventual fragmentation of the sculptural mass... He was steeped in the ethos of modernism... Moore's first step in the process of returning to aesthetic first principles was the study of a variety of non-European art forms... His prototypical figure becomes transformed into the Earth Mother... For all his seeming traditionalism, Moore remains a decidedly modern artist.FINN David.
