Year: 1931
Date & Collation: xiii,192pp.34 plates.Text by T.E.HULME.
Description: Includes a Catalogue raisonné of the works of Jacob Epstein 1907-1931.
135-136 Henry Moore.
Two pages on Moore in a chapter entitled Past and Present in which Epstein gives his views on some great sculptors. Henry Moore is one important figure in contemporary English sculpture. If sculpture is truly the relation of masses then here is an example for all to see. Henry Moore by his integrity to the central idea of sculpture calls all sculptors to his side. What is so clearly expressed is a vision rich in sculptural invention avoiding the banalities of abstraction and concentrating upon those enduring elements that constitute great sculpture... Forces from within these works project upon our minds what the sculptor wishes to convey. Bound by the severest aesthetic considerations this sculpture is yet filled with the spirit of research and experiment. It contains the austere logic of ancient sculpture. Here is a sculptor who could produce monumental work and allied to an architecture worthy of its powers the result would be an achievement to look forward to. Even the smallest works of Moore have an impressive and remote grandeur.""

Description: Introduction to the understanding of art, based on a series of articles in The Listener.
148-153: Section 82(1 illus) Henry Moore.
Sculpture had been dead in England, and perhaps Europe, for 400 years, but is now reborn in the work of Henry Moore. The proper understanding of Moore's work is gained through his concern for the material, which has its own principles of form and structure. Moore's great success lies in his ability to create form from the inside outwards.

(81,83,131-132,Plate facing 132(1 illus) Henry Moore.
Photograph by E.J. Mason of rear view of Mother and Child, 1929 rock chalk. In a chapter Form Sense: the young Englishman Moore in 1930 had not quite found himself... There is a good deal of disarming incoherence in his work and a determination to be unlike Nature the Greeks the Egyptians and the neo-classics at all costs... Moore is a good draughtsman". His 1928 Warren Gallery exhibition (See 0009446) is described noting his animal studies reminiscent of Gaudier-Brzeska. Deliberately primitive forms were seen as "eccentric" but the maternity carvings as "sincere". Moore is also mentioned briefly in an earlier chapter on The Temple of the Winds: "The West Wind of the north side by Henry Moore also makes a very good forward stroke as she lies luxuriously in her tepid bath.")
