Description: British Council text on Moore's work since 1950. His sculpture seems to spring from the primitive instinct to make raised stones. He is drawing upon the reservoir of forms stored in the drawings and sculpture of his own past. He is now involved in a slow move towards a more naturalistic idiom. Mentions leaf figures, drawing parallels with roof bosses in medieval English churches. Draped Reclining Figure, 1952-1953 bronze; King and Queen, 1952-1953 bronze; Warrior with Shield, 1953-1954 bronze; Time-Life Screen, 1952-1953 Portland stone and other works.
