More InformationIncludes a three-and-a-half page review by Douglas COOPER of Henry Moore: Sculpture and Drawings (See 0008893), praising the production but questioning the concept of oeuvre catalogues of artists still active. Most of Moore's work is admired, although he is seen as a weak draughtsman. Specifically mentions Moore's West Wind, Northampton Madonna and Child, and Shelter Drawings. Argues that the direction of the text does little to help readers new to Moore's art. Criticises Moore's adoption of "truth to material" philosophy.
