More InformationModern Sculptors series. Eight-page introduction by Hodin, followed by selections from the writings of Henry Moore. Moore's work is placed against a background of 20th century consciousness. At the same time it is rooted in the English landscape, in human consciousness, and inspired by archaic and Primitive art. Moore builds monuments to the dramatic grandeur of nature." He is able to develop themes in his art by building on the experiments of earlier 20th century artists. The Reclining Figure and Mother and Child works are seen as dominant psychological archetypes in his oeuvre. Jungian and Gestalt writers on Moore are discussed briefly and their interpretations viewed in the "totality of a truly human outlook" and "a deeply founded artistic and human curiosity".For Dutch edition see 0010511.
