Description: Review of Tate Gallery exhibition and catalogue (See 0005063): the critical point is being made that his greatness lies in his form invention and in a kind of imagery too complex too essentially ambiguous at its most energetic ever to be reassuring as straightforward humanism.""

Description: Survey of Moore's recent work at end of 70th year birthday exhibitions. Ideas are being re-worked in different materials and sizes. Some 1930s themes are revived in Moore's renewed interest in direct carving resulting from his acquisition of a house in Forte dei Marmi. Moore is searching again for the essence of sculptural language resulting in a tendency towards greater abstraction. In the place of asymmetry is the vague suggestion of a central axis which gives the impression of a classical well-balanced lightness". Instead of the whole body being represented Moore now takes individual bones or parts as his starting point. He is constantly experimenting his self-renewal never-ending.

Description: Moore has been around for long enough to be embroiled in the division between generations... At the same time now that we are long past the stage when Moore's sculpture needs either defending or explaining it is coming to be more profoundly more intuitively understood than it has been before."

Date & Collation: 2pp.Typewriter script.
Description: British Council typescript. Feature Articles service. Art/57. December 1960. Review of 0006882. Moore in this decade has clearly grown in both technical mastery and emotional depth...the power of these pieces to disturb and shock and exhilarate is commensurate with their size." Stresses the re-emergence of Moore's tendency to abstraction and use of sinister biomorphic shapes."

Place Published: Vienna
Year: 1961
Date & Collation: 23-25(5 illus).Text in German.
Description: States that since the British Council touring exhibition could not travel on to Vienna (See 0006666), information about Moore is conveyed in this article by the art critic of The Times writing about the Whitechapel exhibition (See 0006882). Marvels at Moore's continuing creative powers, and the size of his recent work. Notes trend towards abstraction and anthropomorphic landscapes, which combine classical humanism and the restless sensitivity of the 20th century.

Description: Text on the Recumbent Figure, 1938 green Hornton stone in the Tate Gallery. Painting of the Month was issued quarterly by the B.B.C. to accompany a series of radio broadcasts, this work being the November supplementary feature. The short text records Moore's interest in the Reclining Figure theme, and that he is deeply versed in Classical and Primitive art. Two of the illustrations are of Chacmool and the Ilissos from the Parthenon, one of the Elgin marbles in the British Museum. The importance is mentioned of material, the stoniness of stone, holes, and nature. See also 0006047.

Description: Painting of the Month. From a broadcast appreciation of Recumbent Figure, 1938 green Hornton stone now in the Tate Gallery, which takes in Moore's use of holes, stone as the medium, and Human figure and Landscape. Chacmool is the front cover illustration. Woman and landscape formal treatment and emotional expression are all equal parts of this sculpture... He gives us a woman who is a landscape looking much as she might do if she had been turned to stone centuries ago and the elements had been eroding her into strangely beautiful and evocative shapes ever since...Moore's reclining figures have never lost that masculine alertness nor have they become as woman voluptuous or yielding. On the other hand they express their sexual role in a profound passivity. They are forever waiting while the seasons come and go and the elements rage around them and mould them to their will... In ancient mythologies it is always the earth who is a woman and her lover is the sky. Moore always stresses this identification by thinking of his figures in outdoor settings..." See also 0006054."
