Description: One-page text by Henry MOORE on classic sculpture, primitive sculpture, and inspiration, followed by photographs of four Sculptures 1923-1929 and one Drawing 1928. "In sculpture the later Greeks worshipped their own likenesses... The Renaissance revived the Greek Ideal and European sculpture since then until recent times has been dominated by the Greek Ideal. The world has been producing sculpture for at least some thirty thousand years...a hundred years or so of Greece no longer blot our eyes to the sculptural achievements of the rest of mankind... The removal of the Greek spectacles from the eyes of the modern sculptor...has helped him to realise again the intrinsic emotional significance of shapes... The sculpture which moves me most is full blooded and self supporting fully in the round that is its component forms are completely realised and work as masses in opposition not being merely indicated by surface cutting in relief; it is not perfectly symmetrical it is static and it is strong and vital giving out something of the energy and power of great mountains. It has a life of its own independent of the object it represents."

Publisher: Week-End Review
Place Published: London
Year: 1930
Date & Collation: (6 Dec)..
Description: Review of drawing exhibitions at Tooth's and Zwemmer Gallery (See 0009403). Moore's drawings are compared with those of Frank Dobson. "Moore's studies on the other hand although immature and rather bald-headed in attack seem to be entirely free of all but essentials. There is no attempt to make them look attractive they are a sculptor's plans pure and simple. I do not find they lose by trying to be no more."
