Description: Photocopy of manuscript(s) in Leeds City Art Gallery, signed 'H.S. Moore 1920'. Includes about 26 pages of sketches by Moore. He was at Leeds School of Art in 1920. Sections on early Architecture; Assyrian and Egyptian Sculpture (Statues are not to be judged as if they were all sufficient and independent...they are in complete harmony with their surroundings. Vertical and horizontal lines echo those of the building to which they were attached"); Greek sculpture ("The simplicity of Greek conceptions was best met with in single figures groups in the round were seldom attempted... There were no landscape accessories except the occasional trunk of a tree against which a figure might lean. Much as they loved their landscape country the Greeks had no feeling for landscape in art... Great attention to detail and drapery"); Italian sculptors ("The whole conception of Michael Angelo is monolithic. The centre of gravity is hidden. His figures are vast and aloof... M.A. was absolutely vigorous and uncompromising... Outward forms were superfluous. His Victor carries no sword his Princes are not crowned his Madonna has no halo")."
