Third of a series of volumes, which covers all aspects of cultural developments between the two world wars. There are several passing references to Moore, and selections from his writings. In the chapter on sculpture, Grohmann notes Moore's independence and development of a new symbolic art free from representational restrictions. Moore uses many materials and seeks inner vitality, not beauty. Career details are given, with examples of his work. His drawings are seen as almost an entity in themselves.
