Description: Photographs of the Large Two Forms, 1966 and 1969 bronze located in the Gould Center, Rolling Meadows, Illinois.
In the prefatory texts Kenneth Clark notes presentation as a factor following conception and execution of an art work. William Ylvisaker points out how the sculpture provides a symbolic counterpoint with the lines of the building, and there are three brief statements by Moore on the nature of sculpture: being viewed from different points, simplicity of form, and its organic nature.
David Finn's text on Photographing Large Two Forms reveals his discovery of a brilliant invention that transforms itself into endlessly different and always beautiful forms as one moves around it..."."
