Year: 1935
Date & Collation: 1 1935(Jan) 8-11(1 Moore illus).
Description: Summary of approaches to Abstract Art in contemporary English artists, including Moore. There is a full-page photograph of Four Piece Composition: Reclining Figure, 1934 Cumberland alabaster, while the text on Moore is: Product of the multiform inventive artist abstraction-surrealism nearly in control; of a constructor of images between the conscious and the unconscious and between what we perceive and what we project emotionally into the objects of our world; of the one English sculptor of large imaginative power of which he is almost master; the biomorphist producing viable work with all the technique he requires." With Wyndham Lewis Moore is also described as "the only English artists of maturity in control of enough imaginative power to settle themselves actively between the new preraphaelites of Minotaure and the unconscious nihilists of extreme geometric abstraction".

Year: 1935
Date & Collation: 3 1935(July) 9-13(8 illus).
Description: Moore's creative stance is briefly compared to work by Auden, Wyndham Lewis, Brancusi, D.H. Lawrence, and others. Moore in his shapes gives body to his own phantasies. He is nearer surrealism. He goes to work...intuitively feeling all kinds of life and matter and their relationship but once he has made a discovery he can make it an element use it again modify it or discard it. He can control it when it exists without I believe always realising how or why it first came to exist." Five of the photographs are views of Two Forms 1934 pynkado wood. For 1968 reprint of Axis see 0005084."

Description: Forty short texts, some previously published.
230-241 A Conversation.
With the editor of The Review, 1970.
Includes two passing mentions of Henry Moore. It was Henry Moore and Ben Nicholson I knew best in Hampstead... In English art you have already had in the Thirties a new balance between Henry Moore shaping an almost local surrealism of his own in those heavy shapes cohering on the ground and Ben Nicholson being severe and clear in an unsurrealistic mystery of tones areas and layers. Somewhere between the two possibly lay the secret egg. But the secret egg was approached only by Auden among the new poets"."

Year: 1943
Date & Collation: 16pp.32 plates.
Description: The Penguin Modern Painters series. Life, influences and work of Henry Moore, including a note on his use of colour. All of the illustrations are of drawings, dating from 1930-1942. The 1944, 1946 and 1951 reprints of this book have a different cover (See 0009491), and give the original date of publication as April 1944. Text reprinted in The Harp of Aeolus, 1948 (See 0008464). Incorporates statements by Moore, and relates the shapes of Natural objects to the forms produced by the artist as sculpture and drawing. Analogies are found between Moore's figures and the darkness of the womb, and stone images as diverse as Easter Island and medieval cathedrals. Anything solid that can show the wonder and mystery of life appeals to Henry Moore." Moore's concept of drawing as a help towards sculpture is outlined "as well as his drawings for drawing or the enjoyment of drawing". The War Drawings are discussed and are seen as "nearer to the natural proportions of men and women". Nature provides "the lovely effectiveness of colour" in Moore drawings from the "lichen of the grey rock the coloured texture of weather-worn stone the fiery black and red of igneous formations or burning coal"."
