British Broadcasting Corporation London Henry MOORE is interviewed with his sculptures on the front lawn of the Tate Gallery, explaining how the lawn was fenced in to avoid interference from traffic, railings and the stonework of the building. Moore speaks about: Working Model for Reclining Figure: Lincoln Center, 1963-1965 bronze drawing analogies with rocks coming out of the sea. Outlines his techniques and compares rough finish with the smooth Three Way Piece No. 1: Points, 1964-1965 bronze. Two Piece Reclining Figure No. 1, 1959 bronze subconsciously recalled Adel Rock. Standing Figure: Knife Edge, 1961 plaster produced statement on texture being the outcome of the form plus the tools. Reclining Figure: External Form, 1953-1954 bronze originally had an interior piece but pleased Moore without it, although the interior form is there by implication. Moore also mentions his mother and his father, and Michelangelo as his sculptural ideal. The title of the film is from a statement by the artist.
