(Within a chapter entitled The Mediterranean Ethos which examines the Classicism of Matisse, Picasso and Moore. Blessed with a long life Henry Moore reached sculptural expressions in his later years that unquestionably belong to the modern spiritual; their language is classical their meaning poignantly of our time." Outlines Moore's career discusses briefly individual works and quotes from the artist's published statements. With the War Drawings "the shade of classicism makes itself felt a little more than before...their poses are more than occasionally reminiscent of Classical temple sculpture...classical imagery became for him standard against which he could better see the contemporary condition". Discusses the impact of his visit to Greece and his use of Drapery in post-war bronzes. A classical element is seen also in Warrior with Shield 1953-1954 bronze and Reclining Figure 1963-1965 bronze at the Lincoln Center for the Performing Arts.)
