More InformationBrief summary of the reactions to the Leicester Galleries exhibition (See 0009327), with good photographs of Mother and Child, 1930 Ham Hill stone, Girl with Clasped Hands, 1930 Cumberland alabaster and Reclining Woman, 1930 green Hornton stone. Mr Moore is a glyphic artist; that is he extracts from his medium the peculiar form it suggests...One critic says Mr Moore's nudes 'resemble no known mortals but are nevertheless instinct with life'; while another says of one specimen: 'It is almost impossible to believe that it came from the hands of a man of normal mentality'.""
