Description: Part exhibition review of 2010 Tate Britain show, part essay on the shift of critical response to the artist. Questions the change in Moore's reception by a younger generation of sculptors; states a sea change" in opinion may be occuring citing the starting point for this change as being the publication of Henry Moore Critical Essays see 0020552. Bedford claims that the Tate exhibition has done much to continue this re-evaluation quotes from Chris Stephen's opening catalogue essay and highlights standout works included in the selection at the London show with particular focus on the impact of war on the human body. Close attention paid to Girl Seated Against Square Wall 1957-58 bronze (LH 425). Also quotes from the Tate catalogue essays by artists Antony CARO Antony GORMLEY Lucy SKAER and Simon STARLING with mention of Starling's own interpretation of Moore's oeuvre. Interpretive works by Bruce NAUMAN and Bruce MCLEAN also get a brief mention. Bedford concludes by comparing works by three young sculptors Matthew MONAHAN Aaron CURRY and Thomas HOUSEAGO. Bedford links these sculptor's work with Moore; resurgent interest in figuration seen in the work of these three sculptors emanates from a comparable impulse to preserve the possiblity of representation in the face of the brutal toll exacted on the body by war."
