151-152,157-164,167-171,218,235-236(3 illus) Henry Moore.The essay on Henry Moore is a consolidation of three or four such notices, the second part being an address (delivered in absentia) at the opening of an exhibition in Berlin in July 1961. (See 0006660). Outlines Moore's career and the power of his archetypal images which reach "deep down into the unconscious". Discusses the influence of Natural forms and stresses the importance of Moore's own vitality and sculptural vision. Moore's social origins were lowly but his strong will and sense of his own destiny have shaped him into a genius. A gentle modest and humane man Moore's works now populate the world with their organic vitality. Always an experimental artist of great daring yet his work has been guided by a scientific knowledge. His sculptures assimilate the secrets of nature seen through human eyes. Elements of strangeness and terror are seen in his work while the intensity of his archetypal images reflects the mysteries of the whole human race.
This text is basically that used in a number of British Council exhibition catalogues during the 1960s.
Moore is mentioned in passing in The Ambiguity of Modern Sculpture (an address to the Royal Swedish Academy of Fine Arts 1960): "The archetypal figure of Marilyn Monroe is worshipped by millions and her magic is in no sense esoteric; the magic of Henry Moore's sculpture is by comparison the cult of a secret sect."
Passing mentions also in To Barbara Hepworth Edouard Pignon At the Turn of a Civilization."
