The illustration is Reclining Figure, 1930 Corsehill stone, since lost and probably destroyed. The text outlines the tenets of Unit One, and quotes Herbert Read's affirmation that English sculpture is reborn in the work of Moore. Underwood agrees that Moore heads the modern movement, and briefly discusses the importance of material in Moore's approach to creativity.
