Alan G. WILKINSON on the evolution of the West Wind Relief and the Leeds Reclining Figure.
(Two-page text describing the sketch book studies as "the beginning of Moore's total obsession with" the Reclining Figure. The drawings for the West Wind and the garden relief led to the Leeds sculpture and "the sudden re-emergence of the Chacmool reclining figure" dating from 1922-1926 drawings. The basic differences in the position and pose of the relative figures are discussed. West Wind 1928-1929 Portland stone; Reclining Figure 1929 brown Hornton stone; Six Garden Reliefs 1926 Portland stone.; Relief for the Back of a Garden Bench 1928 teak wood).
