Description: Bollingen Series. Translated from an unpublished manuscript: Henry Moore und der Archetyp des Weiblichen. Dr. Neumann, who studied with Jung, explains the notion of the archetype in relation to art techniques. In Moore the Primordial Feminine stands at the center of his work with such exclusive emphasis". The true object of Moore's work is seen as "this maternal nature who creates the world of forms". Moore's feelings for Primitive art are in keeping with the concept; and the abstract works of the 1930s are seen as the feminine archetype reduced to its primary form. Stone is part of the feminine world of nature and holes in Moore's work are given a sexual meaning with both womb-like and haptic references. The wartime Shelter drawings represented a unique opportunity for Moore to experience the sheltering care of the earth with the collapse of the civilized world into a return to the primitive existence of cave life ("the cavernous womb of the Great Mother"). The drawings of miners are seen as social documents rather than archetypal visions. The position of the Oedipus Complex in creative artists is discussed briefly. The Stringed Figures and related drawings emphasise the depth dimension and are described as strange and daemonic. They are linked with primitive concepts of the female body "in which life is secretly concocted". The loneliness of the individual is analyzed in the figures in prison rooms. During the war the feminine archetype also appears "as a spectral death goddess" particularly in the Reclining Figure 1939 lead. After the war the Great Goddess as positive guardian and as devouring phantom are joined by "the redeeming third". The "archetypal triad" appears in the Three Fates 1941 drawing and later in Three Standing Figures 1947-1948 Darley Dale stone. The man appears as the third figure in the Family Groups. The Head as an independent structure develops in Helmet Heads ("the maternal uterus with an embryonic creative inside") as symbols of nihilism. The Upright Figures are forms from inside the helmets larger than life size. During the 1950s elements from previous works are brought together. Mutually opposed forms are created contemporaneously as in the tragic Warriors and the tranquil Reclining Figures of the time. Moore not only creates great sculpture but brings a new age into being: one that compensates the one-sided patriarchal culture with the feminine archetype.
