Publisher: New English Weekly
Place Published: London
Year: 1932
Date & Collation: (5 May) 65-66.
Description: Moore prefers to work in stone rather than clay. I like the power a work gets naturally from the resistance offered by a hard material." The importance of African carving is in "the full realisation of form in the round". Moore explains his development from reliefs to making holes without weakening the composition; and on to the influence of stones and pebbles. The sculptor's power of imbuing life to his materials is of prime importance irrespective of abstraction or representational concepts. "Carving is more in keeping with the mental attitude modelling with the visual." Carved sculpture should retain the inherent qualities of the material used. "Sculpture in stone should look like stone hard and concentrated."
This interview was reprinted in Black on White (See 0009286)."
