Description: Programmes 1 and 2 in the series Art: Innovation and Commitment, broadcast on Third Programme on 25 November 1965 and 2 December 1965. Narrator and interviewer Andrew FORGE. Producer Leonie COHN. Moore's contributions, totalling about 3 minutes, mention the formation of art societies for exhibiting purposes and the break-up of Unit One. His response to William Rothenstein's question on why he took an interest in Mexican ancient art rather than the English tradition would have been that there is no English sculpture, and the general principles of sculpture are more important than any one style or period. In 1930s any economic pressures hit art first, whereas in 1960 art is regarded as a secure investment.
