Description: Also published by Clarkson N. Potter distributed by Crown (New York) 1979. Copyright Stenersens Forlag (Oslo). For Norwegian edition see 0002884.This book contains eighty colour photographs, taken especially for the book by Sir Geoffrey Shakerley, of Moore's sculptures in their natural surroundings in sixteen different countries.
In his one-page preface Henry Moore stresses his liking for the sky as a background to sculpture and the difficulties inherent in placing a work within an architectural frame.
Shakerley's foreword outlines his method of work and acknowledges help and encouragement given by Moore and others. Stephen Spender discusses his friendship with Moore and their literary and artistic circle in the 1930s. Moore's admiration of Michelangelo is discussed. Moore is described as "one of the last great individualist artists inheritor of a tradition of art based on drawing from the nude which goes back to the Renaissance" while at the same time his subject matter is "deeply buried in early experiences and his subconscious which is unique to him". His Yorkshire background his mother the love of nature are all themes influencing his output. Comparisons are made with D.H. Lawrence. The importance of sculpture in the Open Air is stressed and the problems of architectural settings are outlined. The Much Hadham estate is described. Looking to the future Spender suggests that Moore's works will be seen as "survivals from a great age of art"."

Description: Portions of this book originally appeared in Commentary." Texts on Dylan Thomas Robert Frost T.S. Eliot and Ezra Pound with the Paris Review interviews of Eliot and Pound. Includes a paragraph on page 138. "Pound was an old man doubting the worth of what he had done... I mentioned to him casually that Henry Moore as a young sculptor had taken comfort from Pound's book on Gaudier-Brzeska... He was moved almost to tears; it was something he had not known before. I didn't have the idea that he knew Moore's work....but he knew Moore's reputation and he was touched by new evidence that he had done something worth while... 'There is no doubt that I have been some use to some people'.""
