Description: Text of one of the addresses on Moore's exhibition at the Ernst Museum (See 0006663), given in the British Legation on 24 October 1961. The Hungarian sculptor described Moore as aware of contemporary art as a young man, working in the great traditions, and striving for synthesis rather than novelty. A duality marks his works, he creates symbols of pristine femininity and motherhood". Moore's phases of work are outlined: Surrealism abstraction Helmet Heads War Drawings ("Dantesque pictures"). Individual post-war works are discussed ranging from the exceptionally beautiful to the dramatic and horrifying."

Description: Exhibition review of 0005365, four years after Borsos had visited Moore at Much Hadham. Moore began carving his Reclining Figures as a young man, influenced by works in the British Museum, Paris and Italy. His sculptural inventiveness culminated in the Lincoln Center Reclining Figure, 1963-1965 bronze which is seen as his most dominant piece, and embodying a significance similar to that of the Pietà in Michelangelo's life. The Mother and Child works are symbols which penetrate the secrets of abstraction.
