Description:

Struan Stevenson, Conservative MEP for Scotland 1999-2014, delivered this speech at the 'Friends of the Maclaurin Bistro Supper' at Rozelle House, Alloway, Ayr on Wednesday 3 December 2014. The speech was transcribed into a blog post on the Scottish Conservatives website.

Stevenson describes his long-standing passion for art, having been appointed Director of the Richard Demarco Gallery in Edinburgh in 1986. He goes on to tell the story of how Ayr purchased Moore's Draped Reclining Figure, 1976-79 (LH 705, cast 2) for the Rozelle Gallery. Accompanied by his wife, Stevenson describes his visit to Hoglands on 1st November 1979 to view LH 705 in Moore's studios. Gives an insightful account into what it was like to be a guest in Hoglands, describing having coffee with Moore and Irina, before setting off for a tour of the grounds and studios.

Stevenson accounts for Moore's broken leg, leading him to give the tour from his car while Stevenson and his wife walked the grounds. He makes particular mention of the elephant skull and how it had been a gift from Julian Huxley. He also notes a meeting with Alan Bowness, who had come to Hoglands to see the newly completed Three Bathers - After Cézanne, 1978 (LH 741).

Date & Collation: 294pp.
Description:

Doctoral thesis written by Robert James Sutton in History of Art for the award of Doctor of Philosophy from the University of York, September 2014.

Robert Sutton writes about the period between 1938 and 1950, focusing on four public commissions that Moore completed at four different educational establishments. Each of these commissions represented a different strand of educational provision either side of the Second World War. The first two commissions that Sutton writes about did not come to fruition: a series of reliefs to cover the side of Senate House, commissioned by Charles Holden, and a sculpture to be situated in front of the new 'Village College' in Cambridgeshire, devised by Henry Morris and designed by the architects Walter Gropius and Maxwell Fry. The thesis then focuses on Family Group, 1948-49 (LH 269) and how it was commissioned at sited at the Barclay School, Stevenage, one of the first secondary modern schools built in England after the war and the implementation of the 1944 Education Act. The final commission written about in this thesis is Memorial Figure, 1945-46 (LH 262) for the ground of the Dartington School in Devon, set up by the philanthropic educationalists, Dorothy and Leonard Elmhirst.

VEASEY describes Bentley Wood as a formative experience for Moore. "It defined the criteria by which he went on to assess the future placements of his landscape sculptures: their integrity with the landscape, their simplicity of display, their elevation and their ability to mediate the viewer's relationship with the landscape." Illus of Moore with Reclining Figure 1929 Brown Horton stone (LH 59); Recumbent Figure 1938 in-situ from different vistas at Bentley Wood. 41-51 Moore and Memorial Figure 1945-46 in relation to collectors Dorothy and Leonard Elmhirst; experimental rural art colony; World War II; celebration of the life of Christopher Martin, the first Arts Administrator of Dartington Hall; broad stone steps designed by Percy Cane; the site and perspective of the sculpture, within the landscape. At the time of installation Moore commented that he wanted Memorial Figure "to convey a sense of permanent tranquility, a sense of being from which the stir and fret of human ways had been withdrawn, and all the time I was working on it I was very much aware that I was making a memorial to many generations of men who have engaged in a subtle collaboration with the land." Illus of Memorial Figure 1945-46 ; from different view points; and the dedication for Christopher Martin. Chapter Two - The open air exhibition of sculpture at Battersea Park, 1948: 55, 58, 61, 72, 74, 78 Moore and Three Standing Figures 1947-48 Darley Dale stone in relation to: Patricia Strauss, Chief Officer of the London County Council Parks Committee, who proposed the idea of an open-air exhibition, to show the world modern trends in sculpture.
