Henry Moore Artwork Catalogue
Art at Auction: the year at Sotheby Parke Bernet 1974-75.
Skip to main content
Moore's work during the ten years after his 1925 visit to Italy, with reference to the influences of alien rather than classical cultures on his carvings. The Six Garden Reliefs, 1926 Portland stone were seen as the only way he would be likely to get his work into the Open Air. Conceptions of his work on a larger scale than was possible at the time are seen as prophetic of the monumental works to come. Incorporates contemporary statements by Moore.
