Henry Moore.
Skip to main content
MACMILLAN Duncan. Regarding Henry.
(Outlines Moore's fame and career, but finds it difficult to assess his achievements. Never truly original, he was a compromise modern artist, promoted by the British Council).
STODDART Alexander. Ambassador for empty territory of post-war sculpture.
(Sculptor Alexander Stoddart suggests that Moore was a great influence, rather that a great sculptor. He was a blob-monger and fondler of pebbles... The way in which Moore was husbanded by the critical fraternity is at once farcical embarrassing and then sinister... we gag and nausiate at the emptiness of it all... a catastrophe of hemispherical dimensions")."
