0004396 Elephant Skull graphic works;Prints; Henry Moore's Elephant Skull etchings. Henry J Seldis Art International Zürich An elephant's skull was given to Henry Moore by Julian and Juliette Huxley. It became the source for a series of etchings, published by Gérald Cramer (See 0004721) and exhibited widely. Moore's graphic work must be regarded with as much admiration as his sculpture. During the past ten years both areas of expression have reflected his increasing preoccupation with the architectonic elements inherent in the organic forms from which he develops his ever powerful vision. Quotes detailed statements from an interview with Moore on his enthusiasm for the skull and on his method of producing the drawings and etchings.
