The similarities between Moore and Hepworth are outlined, and compared to the Braque-Picasso phenomenon of the cubist period". Sculptural comparisons are drawn with Gabo Pevsner and Arp. After 1945 the two follow more divergent paths: "Moore lets himself be guided by no tendency by no preconceived rule." Because of his many exhibitions Moore has become "one of the great stars of modern art" contrasting with Hepworth's relative effacement.
