The similarities between Moore and Hepworth are outlined, and compared to the Braque-Picasso phenomenon of the cubist period". Sculptural comparisons are drawn with Gabo Pevsner and Arp. After 1945 the two follow more divergent paths: "Moore lets himself be guided by no tendency by no preconceived rule." Because of his many exhibitions Moore has become "one of the great stars of modern art" contrasting with Hepworth's relative effacement.

In a chapter The Nude in Modern Art, Moore's works are seen as formalizations of an existing configuration... His object is to distil an essence...a universal quality". His links with nature are noted and his "cold impersonal process" results in suggesting "the invincible dignity of the race". With Picasso he has created "a new race of divinities...of mid-twentieth-century society" and "his impersonal monoliths could so easily be pressed into the service of politics"."

Description: Soucasné Svetové Umení, 6. Notes Moore's regeneration of English sculpture, his individuality, and his reaction against the academic in favour of Primitive art with its form and feeling. The Much Hadham estate is described, and the importance of nature in Moore's art, together with his avoidance of the completely abstract. Statements by the artist are incorporated in discussions of form and individual works. Jungian psychology plays a part in the association of forms from natural objects. Moore's association with Surrealism, and his debt to Brancusi is noted. The human figure, asymmetry and the role of drapery is discussed briefly, and the relationship of Moore's work to architecture is outlined. His preference is noted for Open Air settings, creating the need for massive forms. The artist's drawings form a special part of his work, and Moore's unique position of artist-humanist and searcher after form is discussed.
