Description: WHITTICK Arnold. The art critic's view.
(Classical sculpture is no longer our only standard in viewing contemporary works. Prehistoric and primitive forms have influenced the two artists. Stone and natural forms are important to Moore. Henry Moore is a great sculptor and I prophesy that most people will accept him as such in less than another quarter of a century").
LEATHART J.R. The architect's view.
(The works are considered from their suitability as applied elements of decorative quality to a building and Leathart writes with little enthusiasm about Moore's work. At the same time the "heroic proportions" of the relatively small figures "assume a violence in scale which defies a true assessment of total size")."
