Place Published: Tokyo
Year: 1938
Date & Collation: (Sept) 15(12) 1-12(13 illus).Text in Japanese.
Description: Moore is a startlingly fresh talent in the face of the general decline in European sculpture since the 15th century. Following on from Epstein, Gaudier-Brzeska and Gill, he is of a younger generation and closer to Brancusi and Zadkine in his approach. He re-emphasizes the tradition of carving as opposed to modelling, making use of the natural mass and form of his materials. Although the influence of Picasso is noted, his originality arises from his observation of nature. Together with Barbara Hepworth and others, Moore is representative of the new generation of British sculptors, and he is in the process of building a unique international reputation. Concludes with extensive quotations from Moore's writings. The illustrations equate with those in Herbert Read's Henry Moore (See 0009257).

Publisher: Kiilan Albumi
Place Published: Helsinki
Year: 1938
Date & Collation: 34-42(3 illus).Text in Finnish.
Description: Moore's name is already being linked with that of Brancusi. He teaches sculpture at Chelsea School of Art, has been exhibiting for ten years, and is the subject of a monograph by Herbert Read (See 0009257), and regular articles. Quotes Moore's appreciation of shells, bones and other Natural forms. The strength and vitality of his sculpture is evident in his London studio. His chief interest is the human figure, shaped not figuratively but from the deep wells of his own unconscious" satisfying the demands of his own vision without destroying the intrinsic beauty of the material in which he is working. Drawing is vitally important to Moore as is the problem of form. Abstract studies complex forms and their combinations holes all prove confusing to many of his contemporaries. "But the work of an artist endures like a mountain or like living nature that models and renews her forms continually.""
