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."
