Year: 1928
Date & Collation: (26 Jan)..
Description: Review of Moore's first one man exhibition, at the Warren Gallery (See 0009446), which mentions his debt to materials rather than copying nature. Moore is seen as a stone carver, architectural in conception". Works on display have the effect of stability and are "consistent with themselves and each other and loyal to the substances of which they are made". Moore's sense of form is not seen to be fully developed while his drawings although nearer to nature than the carvings are still on the monumental side."

Place Published: London
Year: 1928

Description: Quite favourable brief review of the first one man exhibition (See 0009446): most of his work is good; it has solid mass and massive rhythm; it is true to its material; it is generally considered and well-thought-out." The works are seen to lack conviction when compared with Maillol for example but "Mr Moore is young and there are happily indications that he may find himself.""

Year: 1928
Date & Collation: (29 Jan)..
Description: Moore at the Warren Gallery (See 0009446), a carver conditioned by his material and whose sympathies are entirely with the extreme modernists". The influence is noted of Zadkine and Archipenko through his Royal College of Art studies while the semi-abstract treatment in some figures is regarded as inconsistent. The drawings are seen to be of a very high order and his future is seen to lie "in the direction of sculpture for purely decorative purposes".

Description: Includes a brief, and slightly unfavourable, review of Henry Moore's first one man exhibition, at the Warren Gallery (See 0009446).

Description: Hostile review of exhibition (See 0009446) which must raise furious thoughts in the minds of those responsible for teaching at the Royal College of Art".

Description: Short review of the Warren Gallery exhibition (See 0009446), outlining Moore's educational background. Many of the early drawings have a delicacy that recalls the graceful work of Fragonard. The sculpture however is simply staggering... Many of the figures have been done with a minimum of carving. All the strength of the marble is brought out with a few strokes of the chisel. Mr Moore works in every medium... A very advanced show and one that will shock the orthodox it contains much sculpture of almost overwhelming power.""

Date & Collation: (1 Feb)
Description: Letter to editor in Yorkshire Evening Post from T.R. Dawes, Moore's headmaster at Castleford Secondary School, responding to 0009454. Clarifies relationship to Alice Gostick, mentions LH X8 Roll of Honour c.1915, CGM X2 Narayana and Bhataryan c.1915, Moore's early work in pottery. "...while we at the Secondary School grudge no share in Mr. Moore’s success to the elementary school from which he came to us with a County Minor Scholarship, we don’t want to lose any glory that falls on us here, reflected from Mr. Moore’s association with this school"; "I see that among those who buy Moore’s work are Professor Rothenstein, Hugh Walpole and Augustus John. So it looks as if the things we possess here will be of value, such as the War Honours Board (Moore’s first commission), bits of peasant pottery (for Moore was a keen painter of pots), and, lastly, his play, full of Eastern colour, which he produced here and later in Chelsea."
