Publisher: Magazine of Art
Place Published: New York
Year: 1951
Date & Collation: (May) 44(5) Cover,171-174(9 illus).
Description: The chief development in Henry Moore's work during the last five years is his greatly increased use of metal as his medium of expression. Lead figures of the 1930s are discussed, and it is pointed out that Moore could not afford to have a figure cast in bronze at that time in the very faint hope that someone would buy it". New ideas in Moore's work demanded handling in clay a more malleable material than the slow process of carving in stone or wood. Moore was aware of the problem created in retaining vitality when idea and material are not united at birth and drawings for his metal sculptures retained an important place. Now "he has gradually come to adopt metal as his chief material and gained thereby that freedom in space and fantasy towards which we find him striving in his early drawings"."
