Description: Czech book version of 0001840; translated by Klement BENDA.
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).

Place Published: Munich
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.

6-7 MITCHINSON David. Preface.

Outlines Moore's approach to the archetypal image and quotes him on sculptural form. "The miracle of a woman creating life within herself parallels the genius of the artist who gives birth to a form within a once lifeless stone").

Description: During 1980 Moore paid a series of visits to the British Museum to rediscover works which influenced him in the 1920s. Fifty pieces are photographed together with comparative illustrations of Moore's own work and sketches made sixty years before in the British Museum.
7-16 MOORE Henry. Introduction.
(The visits to the British Museum from 1921 onwards, and the escape from the emphasis at art school on Classical art. In my most formative years nine-tenths of my understanding and learning about sculpture came from the British Museum." Moore explains his personal selection of sculpture in the round; the monumentality of Egyptian art and its grandeur. With the paucity of sculptural tradition in Britain in the 1920s friendship with Epstein and the primitive works in the British Museum influenced his own work. The sense of touch; and the Cycladic sculpture with its "pure sense of style of unity of form" led to produce in Moore a strong belief in direct carving. The importance of drawing and the art of photographing sculpture are outlined).

(Outlines Moore's views on his favourite artists and the anonymous works of the ancients and primitives. Explains how Moore has educated his way of looking and photographing).

Date & Collation: 64pp.Illus.
Description: Published with New York Graphic Society (Greenwich, Conn.). Also limited edition of 150 copies signed by the artist. Large-format volume of sketches, some in colour, with some notes by Henry Moore. The book was designed by the artist in 1957, and includes Thirteen Standing Figures, 1958 lithograph. Grigson's three-page text is a poetic comment on Moore's work: Man in his dimensions of memory: in his images of the Great Mother of Christ of the Madonna; in what was made by the maker of an archaic Apollo or by Masaccio or the Mexican carver or the potter of Colima or the English potter of the Middle Ages." One of Moore's notes: "The great (the continual everlasting) problem (for me) is to combine sculptural form (power) with human sensitivity and meaning to try to keep the Primitive Power with humanist content."
