Author/Editor: KUSPIT Donald B.
Publisher: Artforum
Place Published: New York
Year: 1983
Date & Collation: (Oct) 22(2) 75.
Description: In Reviews column; a two-column review of the Metropolitan Museum of Art exhibition (See 0001077). Moore is seen as a decidedly British sculptor" his art "about the problems of Modernity in Britain" and "prematurely conventionalized". Moore is using "abstraction to preserve mythical subject matter rather than to dissolve it in pure form... Moore simply apotheosizes the figure rather than offering a fresh revelation of it...Moore has reduced the feminine to a static absolute rather than a heroic force...these holes paradoxically desexualise the female figure"."
