Author/Editor: MOORE Henry.
Publisher: Piper
Place Published: Munich
Year: 1956
Date & Collation: 64pp(45 plates).Text in German.
Description: Drawings 1931-1954, including many war-time Shelter drawings. Moore's work is fascinating and disturbing, it symbolises the current human condition, concentrated through a few recurring themes, or archetypes. The ghostly, dismaying scenes as in the Underground are central to the whole of his graphic work: man in a catacomb. Discusses Moore's creativity through the hidden structure of Natural forms, incorporating statements by Moore. Primitive and other influences, use of space, vitality, all within a sculptural context are evident through the drawings. Individual drawings are discussed and similar motives and themes are found to link Studies for Sculpture, Seated Figures, Reclining and Standing Figures, and Shelter drawings. The drawings are placed within the historical context of English water-colour and the work of contemporary artists.
