Description: English language edition of 1971 Fabbri publication (See 0004465) with minor changes to the Biography and List of Exhibitions, and with a different Bibliography. In the Introduction Moore is defined as a Classicist, who pursues his activity through the twentieth century movements by plastic investigation and graphic studies. Moore's humanistic portrayal of today's problems is outlined through the Reclining Figures, War Drawings and other motifs. The influences shaping Moore's outlook and the resulting form of the sculpture are discussed. Historical horizons, the English tradition, and organic form are seen as vital factors. Comparisons with other twentieth century artists follow. The Shelter drawings and some post-war sculptures are discussed in terms of mass and space.

Description: Moore's sculpture is classical because it presents form as representative of the totality of its being. His references are, however, to the classical phenomena which occur almost by contradiction in non-classical cultures. His craftsmanship is in contradiction with contemporary industrial technology, demonstrating that this technology is powerless to destroy the classical in civilization. Moore's myths allude to an infinitely remote time. Moore warns us that the modern myth of progress may be darker than our pre-history and less human.

Description: Dedalo series, 1.
Preface and introduction, followed by illustrations of Sculpture 1925-1948, and Drawings 1928-1946. Aftermath of wartime devastation depicted in the Shelter drawings. His sculpture is seen as a new dawning and reconstruction of civilization. Moore's true place in art is seen to be within the tradition of prehistory rather than with contemporary movements, and his ideas are compared with other 20th century artists. Formed through Roger Fry's writings and the importance of carving, mass is seen as Moore's initial language. His sense of asymmetry, volume and rhythm all lead to a new spaciality inherent in the material, with drawing and carving as successive parts of the process to climb again the route of this historical vision which we call nature". Colour in his drawings has its origins in Turner's interpretation of space; and the balance found in his Reclining Figures is linked with the architecture of Frank Lloyd Wright. Natural semblences of form give way in the Open Air to a more natural abstraction than that of pure abstract artists. His abstract figures are fixed to the human module and incorporate Surrealistic and unconscious elements. With the humanity of common feeling evident from the Mother and Child figures his work portrays a new sense of the enjoyment of seeing touching and using objects. A new interpretation of artistic action as social action in the face of traditional concepts of aesthetics."
