More InformationFirst issue of a projected quarterly magazine from a group of poets and artists who have taken the name of The Islanders, after meeting at the instigation of Leon Underwood. Contains two 1931 prints by Henry Moore on pages 7 and 14 (Figures: Sculptures, 1931 wood engraving and Reclining Nude, 1931 wood engraving). The introduction by Josef Bard, the editor, contains the paragraph: Henry Moore suggested that a congenial atmosphere in which contemporary art could flourish is more than ever needed to facilitate the crystallisation of proper classical forms for each artist's individual emotional glow." Issue 2/3 was published in September 1931 and issue 4 in December 1931. See also 0009384."
