More InformationReview of the Henry Moore exhibition at Tate Britain, see 0021726. Stephen Feeke examines, in great curatorial detail, the pros and cons of the Tate show, with attention to layout and selection. In conclusion Feeke states "Ultimately, the exhibition succeeds, not because it sheds new light on a familar master but because it gives us the chance to look at work we might otherwise have thought safe and formulaic; the selection commands our attention and questions erroneous preconceptions". Four Moore illus: Reclining Woman 1930 green Hornton stone, (LH 84) Reclining Figure 1929 brown Hornton stone, (LH 59) Recumbent Figure 1938 green Hornton stone, (LH 191) Tube Shelter Perspective: Liverpool Street Extension 1941 drawing, (HMF 1801). An additional image of Moore's scultpure can be seen on page 11: Three Way Piece No.2: The Archer 1964-65 bronze, (LH 535) can be seen outside of the Neue Nationalgalerie in Berlin.
