Description: Survey of Moore's career and achievement, at the time he was being criticised (together with Picasso and Matisse) by Sir Alfred Munnings, President of the Royal Academy.

Description: A B.B.C. Third Programme broadcast on the occasion of the British Council exhibition touring Europe from 7 October 1949 (See 0008026). Moore's form is seen as crucial to his importance, and comes into play at just that point where his work ceases to be a copy of nature. Classical and primitive works influencing Moore are outlined, while the problem Moore has set himself is to get from his material the maximum of what I can only call form life." Letters in response to this text appeared in issues of the Listener for 10 September 1949 (Horace Shipp Margaret MacKenzie) 17 September 1949 (Francis Watson) 24 September 1949 (Horace Shipp) 1 December 1949 (Francis Watson)."
