Description: On the occasion of the Whitechapel exhibition (See 0006882) Caro, a former assistant of Henry Moore, pays tribute to Moore's pioneering influence. His success has created a climate for all of us young sculptors and has given us confidence in ourselves which without his efforts we would not have felt." Caro questions Moore's "self-imposed isolation away from London" and suggests he may be out of touch with recent developments in art. The working life of an assistant to the sculptor is outlined and Caro stresses the debt he owes to Moore in his understanding of sculpture.
Nevile WALLIS reviews the Whitechapel exhibition on page 27 of this issue of The Observer stressing the "disquietude underlying the aloofness" of Moore's work."
