Publisher: Universitas
Place Published: Stuttgart
Year: 1967
Date & Collation: 22 359-366(4 illus).Text in German.
Description: Academic appraisal of Moore's works, with reference to individual sculptures and drawings. Refers to early primitive influences, seen as out of keeping with claims that Moore's work was inherently humanistic. Women are seen more as geological than biological concepts. Pre-war drawings show a sense of restriction, the daydreams about sculpture not becoming reality until Moore produced large public bronzes. Upright Figures and other recent works still show prehistoric and totemistic links.
