Photograph by E.J. Mason of rear view of Mother and Child, 1929 rock chalk. In a chapter Form Sense: the young Englishman Moore in 1930 had not quite found himself... There is a good deal of disarming incoherence in his work and a determination to be unlike Nature the Greeks the Egyptians and the neo-classics at all costs... Moore is a good draughtsman". His 1928 Warren Gallery exhibition (See 0009446) is described noting his animal studies reminiscent of Gaudier-Brzeska. Deliberately primitive forms were seen as "eccentric" but the maternity carvings as "sincere". Moore is also mentioned briefly in an earlier chapter on The Temple of the Winds: "The West Wind of the north side by Henry Moore also makes a very good forward stroke as she lies luxuriously in her tepid bath.")
