Description: In Volume 6 of the journal published by the Public Monuments and Sculpture Association. By Visiting Assistant Professor of art and architecture at the University of Oregon. Barbara Hepworth's Single Form at the United Nations headquarters in New York, and Henry Moore's ITU.N.E.S.C.O. Reclining Figure, 1957-1958 travertine marble at the Unesco headquarters in Paris. The figures remain obstinately mute testifying to an unreconciled conflict between the modernist demands for subjective expression and an institutional need for a publicaly legible iconography". A largely historical and and politcal text with little about the sculptures themselves. Concludes that the works might be viewed as nostalgic reminders of a better world that never arrived."
