GROHMANN Will. Begegnung mit Henry Moore.
(Meeting with Henry Moore. From 0006853).
MOORE Henry. Meine Arbeit als Kriegskünstler.
(My work as a war artist. From 0005394).
MELVILLE Robert. Themen und Motive bei Henry Moore.
(Themes and motifs with Henry Moore. From 0005369).
PETERMANN Erwin. Die Shelter-Zeichnungen.
(The shelter drawings. Explains the meaning of the shelters, and discusses Moore's unreal colours, used to heighten the effect. Natural body shapes appear alongside abstract figures. Seen as the greatest artistic document to arise from the catastrophe of war in this generation...something outside time...Nowhere is there pathos or protest...in resurrection poses like pictures from the Middle Ages...an affirmation of humanity yet the end of humanity...we are dealing with a monument of our times").
LEMMER Klaus J. Das Shelter Sketch Book als Zeitdokument.
(The Shelter Sketch Book as a document of our times. Moore worked as an artist not as a propagandist producing a statement of universal validity. "Deep in the earth they seek sanctuary from a force that is unrelated to any particular period in time. Not once do the clothes give a clue as to whether an archaic underworld is intended or an event in the middle of the 20th century." The rest of the essay is devoted to the progress of the 2nd World War)."
