More InformationSurvey of Moore's recent work at end of 70th year birthday exhibitions. Ideas are being re-worked in different materials and sizes. Some 1930s themes are revived in Moore's renewed interest in direct carving resulting from his acquisition of a house in Forte dei Marmi. Moore is searching again for the essence of sculptural language resulting in a tendency towards greater abstraction. In the place of asymmetry is the vague suggestion of a central axis which gives the impression of a classical well-balanced lightness". Instead of the whole body being represented Moore now takes individual bones or parts as his starting point. He is constantly experimenting his self-renewal never-ending.A de luxe edition carried an original print: Black Figure on Pink Background 1967 lithograph."
