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.""

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: Album of 30 Etchings 1983 in total edition of 80. (Cramer 671-700). Introduction by Alistair GRANT. Also reproduced in Mother and Child Etchings (See 0011023). The one-page introduction notes the Mother and Child as a recurring and emotional theme throughout Moore's work. These etchings were based on drawings made since 1975, but are also reminiscent of earlier images, and represent a culmination of this theme. The prints can be placed in a developmental sequence of human growth, and are a tribute to Moore's humanity.

Description: Portfolio of a total of 17 Etchings 1972-1974 (Cramer 196-201, 225-235) in a total edition of 95. Text by Henry MOORE: Sheep have always had some special meaning for me more so than cows or horses whether it is that I saw them as a boy in parts of the Yorkshire landscape or whether it's from reading in the Bible in early childhood where sheep have a special mention and not horses for instance I really would not like to say." The artist recalls how he retreated to a studio looking out on sheep while sculpture was being packed for a large exhibition. "Being like sheep they looked like sheep they had a sheepish look and they would just stare and stand still for nearly five minutes you could say in a professional manner so that I could spend longer trying to draw them..." The sketch book takes them through the lambing mother and child season through shearing with "the sheep looking less attractive less like sheep". Observation developed the sheep from simple balls of wool to more sophisticated studies. Etching produced a more sensitive line than drawing. Moore then provides a brief description of the works in the album and concludes with a note on his love of drawing and his use of forms from nature."

Description: Portfolio of five Lithographs 1974 (Cramer 356-360) in a total edition of 75. Preface by Henry MOORE. Short text describing how he was dissatisfied with some Helmet Head drawings and tore them up, only to realise the power of the single eye in the fragments. They were mounted collage form in a sketchbook. The Spanish Prisoner, 1939 lithograph is recalled, together with the first Helmet Head sculpture of 1940. Whilst working on these new prints I surrounded the head fragments with frames or window openings to give them the suggestion of soldiers observing the enemy from concealed positions behind battlements.""

The importance of the countryside to Moore his work and the activities of the Foundation and its visitors. "All my work is imbued with nature...It is perhaps not too fanciful to think that the many hundreds of my bronzes sold since 1941 have exported a bit of the peace of this corner of Hertfordshire to the many cities at home and abroad where they now stand." Visitors come "to see my work in the setting which in many cases helped to inspire it. Obviously this purpose would be defeated if the air was constantly being torn by the noise of planes taking off from Stansted". Suggests Maplin as a more logical alternative site."

Description: Album of five Etchings 1977 (Cramer 461-465), based on ideas from Dante Alighieri, in a total edition of 75. Introduction by Henry Moore in form of a short statement noting the constant recurrence of the word 'stone' in Dante's poems: It seemed to me that it was a very potent image for him. Being a sculptor especially one who from the beginning of my career has had a great love of stone it became obvious that I should choose this element from his writings to illustrate.""

Description: Album of 136 pages with a total of 38 Etchings 1969-1970 (Cramer 109-146) in a total edition of 115. Preface by Henry J. SELDIS explains Moore's environment and use of bones and other natural forms as a source of inspiration. Moore's fascination with the strength and structure of bone forms is revealed in quotations by the artist. The gift of the elephant skull by Julian Huxley was logical, and Moore's interest in elephants and other zoo animals is recorded. The intricate use of etching as the medium to depict Moore's interpretations of the anatomy of the skull is described: you will be able to see a series of tunnels regressions shadows shapes and depth that are unbelievable."
