More InformationStudy by his step-granddaughter of the artist. Includes a photograph of Moore in 1969 with Ayrton's The Maze Maker, and a dozen references to Moore in the text. The two artists had known each other since Ayrton's student days. They met up again in Rome in 1948, cooperated on the Pisano book (See 0004851). Moore helped Ayrton with technical aspects of sculptures, and the Ayrtons visited Moore in Forte dei Marmi. Moore enjoyed reading The Midas Consequence.
