More InformationDescriptive booklet on the Gardens of the fourteenth century Dartington Hall in Devon. Page 22 carries a photograph of Henry Moore's Memorial Figure, 1945-1946 Hornton stone in situ, together with a 1947 text by Henry MOORE: I tried to make a figure which could rightly be called a memorial figure. I wanted the figure to have a quiet stillness and a sense of permanence as though it could stay here for ever; to have strength and seriousness in its effect and yet be serene and happy and resolved as though it had come to terms with the world and could get over the largest cares and losses.""
