Description: Short book review of 0009257.

Year: 1934
Date & Collation: (Sept) 90-91(2 illus).1 plate.
Description: Review of Herbert Read's Henry Moore (See 0009257). Gaudier-Brzeska and Moore possess the same pragmatic approach: a common sense of the sculptural qualities inherent in organic objects".

There are quotations from the text rationalising the distinction between carving and modelling into the necessity of truth to material.
