Description: Paper given at Anglo–American Exchange in Postwar Sculpture, 1945–1975 symposia at the Getty Center on April 25 and 26, 2008 (pages 32-44). Examines the significance or journalism and photography in shaping perceptions of Moore, from 1946. Numerous references to Moore throughout, including references to: Moore's personality; his "homely appearance"; the national stereotype and Moore as representative of Englishness; Moore's self-presentation; the complex history of relations between Britain and the USA; the role of fine art in the context of "Cold War anxieties"; support of the British Council; Moore's relationship with MoMA; Curt Valentin, Moore's New York dealer; Journalists Henry J. Seldis in the 1970s; James Hall; Donald Hall; the role of photography in defining readings of his work; John Hedgecoe's book Henry Spencer Moore 1968; images of Moore's home; the photographs of David Finn; Lord Clark of Civilisation; City Hall, Dallas and Raymond Nasher; John Russell.
ROSE writes that Moore was frequently quoted verbatim in newspaper and journal articles, and in this way was able to control the personal and artistic attributes ascribed to him. These and photographs of his home and studio in England are more revealing of how Moore was regarded in America than more academic texts. "The nature of his personality, his appearance, his living situation, and his steady and continuous creative output could vividly be conveyed through words and images, and the effect on his reception in America was profound". 33 illus of Irina and Moore at Hoglands Irina at work photograph by Hedgecoe 1968. 39 illus of Moore sweeping up after working on Reclining Figure 1959-64 elmwood (LH 452) photograph taken by Crispin Eurich, 1964. 40 two illus: Moore photographing a sculpture 1953 taken by Keystone Press; photograph by John Swope of Moore at Perry Green, April 1972. 41 two illus: black and white photograph by Hedgecoe; Photograph by Lidbrook of Moore in the small sitting room at Hoglands 1955. 42 illus from Ruder Finn Conference Room Quotations New York 1967.
