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..."

Description: In the form of an interview with David SYLVESTER, Moore speaks about Michelangelo on the 400th anniversary of his death in 1564. Moore sees Michelangelo as an absolute superman" with "tremendous monumentality his over-life-size vision what sculpture should have for me is this monumentality rather than details that are sensitive". For Moore the greatest of Michelangelo's works is the Rondanini Pietà. Towards the end of his life Michelangelo's "values had changed to more deeply fundamental human values... All his past experience is in them. This is the kind of quality you get in the work of old men who are really great. They can simplify; they can leave out...".
