Part 1 is on Moore's life and career, Castleford background, education, influences. Cycladic art, Stonehenge, Chacmool, Brancusi. Moore had a subconscious predilection for primitive art and how the ancients worked with stone. His early carvings were entirely different from previous Western sculptural tradition.
Part 2 examines the Mother and Child theme and the Family Groups. His lifelong obsession came from his family background. One of the eternal themes of mankind which Moore expressed in the language of the ancients rather than through traditional Christian art. Style resolved by War Drawings and by Madonna and Child 1943-1944 Hornton stone. Influence of Picasso. Mother and Child became one unit eventually. King and Queen, 1952-1953 bronze an expression of loneliness, and a high point in Moore's art.
Part 3 concentrates on the internal-external theme in nature and how Moore was responsible for this notion in 20th century sculpture. Influence of Picasso and of Giacometti, with reptilian figures reflecting modern view of absurdity of existence, in contrast to ideal depictions of Greek sculpture. Helmet Heads likened to aliens from space. Early criticism of Moore's work.
Part 4 is on the theme of art and nature, Moore's reclining figures giving a sense of peace and recalling the soft hills of England. Organic shapes, and Moore's use of space. Iida visited Much Hadham in 1982 and describes the estate. Mentions Archipenko and compares Arp and Moore. Giacometti's art embodies the crisis of mankind, Moore's work overrides problems and creates harmony. Film and appreciation of Bronze Form, 1985-1986 bronze.
The Henry Moore Foundation possesses an audio tape English translation by Sim on R. PRENTIS of these programmes.

The disc is primarily an educational title for studying the life method and work of modern sculptors. Since its first incarnation a further "essaying" environment has been created to enable users to build their own multimedia essays using the materials available on the videodisc.
Side one of the disc is devoted to Henry Moore with side two focusing on Modern British Sculpture from the Tate's collection of 20th century art.
Tate Gallery Liverpool and Henry Moore Sculpture Trust plan to launch a Sculpture Interactive outreach network in 1993. Participants in the network will receive the videodisc software and support material to enable them to produce and exchange multimedia "essays"."
