Description: Review article devoted almost entirely to Moore's Leicester Galleries exhibition (See 0009327). Notes current art world trend away from the traditional towards revolutionary new forms. Little evidence of this in England except for the work of a few sculptors. It is difficult to approach Moore's art: there are no obvious links with English or Greek traditions or any other well-known styles; there is no clear starting point. An emotional appreciation sees the intrinsic value of the forms, with holes breaking up the surface, and reality acquiring a new dimension. His drawings have a tranquillity about them, and are an even more private phase of his outlook.
