More InformationSummary of approaches to Abstract Art in contemporary English artists, including Moore. There is a full-page photograph of Four Piece Composition: Reclining Figure, 1934 Cumberland alabaster, while the text on Moore is: Product of the multiform inventive artist abstraction-surrealism nearly in control; of a constructor of images between the conscious and the unconscious and between what we perceive and what we project emotionally into the objects of our world; of the one English sculptor of large imaginative power of which he is almost master; the biomorphist producing viable work with all the technique he requires." With Wyndham Lewis Moore is also described as "the only English artists of maturity in control of enough imaginative power to settle themselves actively between the new preraphaelites of Minotaure and the unconscious nihilists of extreme geometric abstraction".For 1968 reprint of Axis see 0005084."
