More InformationWritten at the time of the Stuttgart exhibition (See 0005383). A shortened version of this article, with basically the same illustrations, appeared in Norwegian in Norsk Sivilforsvarsblad (See 0005286). Explains the background of the war artists scheme, and notes war elements in Moore's sculpture such as Helmet Heads and Warriors. Describes events leading to creation of shelter sketches with their mythical-like figures. Notes Moore's long-standing interest in hollows and tunnels. These anonymous forms do not speak of the immediate danger but hint at the fact that there is something threatening the very core of the human race"."
