The texts by Moore and Hendy are in English and Dutch, the remaining texts are in Dutch only. In Hendy's introduction, entitled Henry Moore's Place in British Art, Moore emerged as a carver from the tradition of English art, using elemental human themes after the influence of primitive and Renaissance art. This truth to the nature of the material is part of his feeling for nature herself." Moore's text is in the form of three short published statements. The Foreword is basically acknowledgements."
