Description: A portion of this book originally appeared in somewhat different form in The New Yorker...The purpose of this book is to demonstrate by example that in most cases government dossiers are constitutionally unsound fruitless and dangerous...The documents obtained under the Freedom of Information Act that form the basic evidence for this book...will be deposited in the author's existing personal papers in the Manuscript Division of the New York Public Library".
Chapter 13 Watching Artists comprises sections on Alexander Calder Ben Shahn Georgia O'Keefe and:
284-288. 1 illus. Henry Moore.
(Outlines Moore's political career. "According to his friends he remained a moderate Socialist all of his life...He opposed military solutions to mankind's problems. Like most of the major artists and writers in Great Britain during the Spanish Civil War Moore sided with the Loyalists against Franco's Fascist columns. In the early thirties he supported the Marxist-orientated Artists International Association; but he was not a Communist...He also served as a member of the Artists Refugee Committee helping to settle German artists escaping nazism on the eve of the Second World War. In the postwar years he continued his involvment on humanitarian issues...He signed letters to The Times of London against apartheid in South Africa and supported the Campaign for Nuclear Disarmament...But what had any of these opinions and positions...to do with the Federal Bureau of Investigation?..two pages of materials had been located in the files concerning Moore...the Overseas News Agency from London that reported that an International Arts Guild had been created...and a sculpture painting and architecture section under Henry Moore...a clipping from a January 1951 issue of the Daily Worker listing the names of sixteen men and women in London who had issued a statement condemning the use of the atom bomb... A few scraps of paper in a dossier that had no reason to be in the Seat of Government in the first place showed only a blurred F.B.I. vision of Moore")."
