Author/Editor: HERON Patrick.
Publisher: Age Nouveau
Place Published: Paris
Year: 1950
Date & Collation: 0 1950(May) 109-117.16 Plates.
Description: In issue Regards sur la Grande-Bretagne. Includes two pages on Henry Moore in which he is seen as the most influential artist to have appeared in Britain for over a century. He will become internationally renowned as the greatest living sculptor of the age. His eclecticism is reflected in the many influences that can be perceived in his sculpture, both cultural and national, and there is an underlying theme of massivity. The significance of Moore's art is again probably the result of diverse subconscious influences.

Author/Editor: POLEY Joachim.
Publisher: Kunstwerk
Place Published: Baden-Baden
Year: 1950
Date & Collation: 4(4) 59-61(2 illus).Text in German.
Description: Moore seen as an unsettling occurrence" in 20th century sculpture with the influence of Primitive art steering him towards absolute pure forms and traditional themes of animal and human forms. Moore's "nature-world" is seen as timeless with a plant human and animal mixture from prehistoric or future eras. Images are seen as frightening but resulting from a totally puritanical work-process of sculptural form. The influence of the human figure and the Shelter drawings is noted including works in the Open Air. The effectiveness of colour and technique in his drawings is new and creative producing some pages of inescapable terror. For catalogue see 0008029."

Year: 1950
Date & Collation: 535 (May) 3-20(17 illus).Text in Japanese.
Description: The vitality of Moore's work belongs to the animistic sculpture of early cultures, but his focus on human subjects places him in the mainstream of western tradition. Moore is quoted on asymmetry and on the relation of drawing and sculpture. By a careful selection of materials he creates an ideal form from his deep understanding of nature. Includes other quotations from Moore's writings, biographical details, and a discussion on the Northampton Madonna and Child, 1943-1944 Hornton stone. Concludes with a discussion on the War Drawings and Moore's post-war sculpture, particularly Three Standing Figures, 1947-1948 Darley Dale stone.
