Skip to main content
Following a general opening section, this is one of eight chapters dealing with the work of individual artists. Discusses Moore's work on a psychological level centering around the themes of the Reclining Figure and the Mother and Child. His approach to the human figure is seen to be at variance with the historical ideal in art. By seeking the universal in the particular, through his obsessional themes, he is seen to produce great art.
