5-20 WITTLICH Petr. Dílo Henryho Moora.
(Replaces the Franco Russoli introduction of the other editions of this work, and there are fewer black and white photographs of Moore at work or with celebrities than in other editions. Places Moore within the context of early 20th century art, his family background, and the cultural Left. Roger Fry's evaluation of primitive art became Moore's own. The form of his Mother and Child theme, the materials and monumentality are discussed. The female figure predominates in both drawings and sculpture. Although linked briefly with Surrealism, nature became the basis of his development. The evolution of modern sculpture allowed Moore to experiment with holes, Stringed Figures and other abstract shapes. The Reclining Figure theme became a motif linked with landscape. Sculptural form is discussed, including its ambivalent interpretation. The atmosphere of the War Drawings continues in Three Standing Figures, 1947-1948 Darley Dale stone, and the 1950s saw the development of Moore's third major theme: the Interior and Exterior theme. Writings by Arnheim and Neumann are summarised, and Moore's statements indicating his unconscious source of inspiration as a born sculptor". The large works of the last years realize sculptural concepts expressed throughout his career).

Description: Portfolio of twelve Lithographs and two Etchings 1966-1967 (Cramer 66-79) in a total edition of 50, published on the occasion of the artist's seventieth birthday. A 10pp text folio contains an Introduction and Commentary on the individual prints by Robert MELVILLE, a list of the 14 prints, and details of the editions. Melville explains Moore's move away from drawings to maquettes in preparation for his sculpture, and notes a 1948 drawing as the basis of the present series of lithographs. The prints are seen as the endless dialogue between object and effigy...the graphic notations of a maker of living stones" with the image of woman predominating. The commentaries on the 14 prints are a combination of facts and poetic description: "Ghosts of stone and bronze figures shades of Nature goddesses reclining on their platforms encircled by shadows like dipping wings and falling leaves.""

Year: 1956
Date & Collation: 64pp(45 plates).Text in German.
Description: Drawings 1931-1954, including many war-time Shelter drawings. Moore's work is fascinating and disturbing, it symbolises the current human condition, concentrated through a few recurring themes, or archetypes. The ghostly, dismaying scenes as in the Underground are central to the whole of his graphic work: man in a catacomb. Discusses Moore's creativity through the hidden structure of Natural forms, incorporating statements by Moore. Primitive and other influences, use of space, vitality, all within a sculptural context are evident through the drawings. Individual drawings are discussed and similar motives and themes are found to link Studies for Sculpture, Seated Figures, Reclining and Standing Figures, and Shelter drawings. The drawings are placed within the historical context of English water-colour and the work of contemporary artists.

Description: Published, in slightly abbreviated form, in Henry Moore on Sculpture (See 0005627). Moore recalls his statement published in 1951 Tate Gallery catalogue (See 0008139).I would rather have a piece of my sculpture put in a landscape, almost any landscape, than in or on the most beautiful building I know. He goes on to recall his feelings of the 1928 Underground carving commission at the time he was already concerned with sculpture in the round rather than relief decoration to buildings. As new architecture developed sculpture's relationship to it changed and the Time-Life Building came closer to his sculptural ideals. The Recumbent Figure 1938 green Hornton stone initially outside Chermayeff's house marked Moore's first almost ideal concept of sculpture in relation to architecture. Later works discussed include the Barclay School Family Group 1948-1949 bronze Dartington Hall Memorial Figure 1945-1946 Hornton stone Battersea Park Three Standing Figures 1947-1948 Darley Dale stone King and Queen 1952-1953 bronze and other works in Scotland Draped Reclining Figure 1952-1953 bronze in Bond Street. In each instance Moore comments on the material used where they were carved and the placing of the figures.

Description: Voice of the artist, 1. Moore writes of a quality he finds in artists he admires most (Masaccio, Michelangelo, Rembrandt, Cézanne), namely a disturbing element a distortion giving evidence of a struggle of some sort". Moore explains how Rembrandt copied Mantegna. "One cannot change one's nature. Artists try to debate all the time what they do instead of seeing that there is something in the opposite. No one really knows anything unless he knows also the opposite... I personally believe that all life is a conflict.... And you have to die too which is the opposite of living. One must try to find a synthesis to come to terms with opposite qualities... Perfectionist art does not move me... All that is bursting with energy is disturbing not perfect. It is the quality of life. The other is the quality of the ideal... All primitive art is disturbed or an experience of power not perfectionist... This disturbing quality of life goes hand in hand with the disturbing quality of our time... Never once did I want to make what I thought of as a 'beautiful' woman... I do not consider our age to be worse than others... For life every period is a terrible period... No art has ever existed and no artist has ever created out of real despair. To be an artist is the opposite of being in a state of despair. To be an artist is to believe in life..."
