Description: Column offering favourable review of Tate Britain Henry Moore exhibition. Carlisle compares her Red Poll cows to Moore's monumental bronzes. Note on audio guide. Also states she was put off by critic's negative reviews of Moore and his work; It was as if the artist now triggered generational warfre, with young critics determined to dismiss him as the second-rate producer of civic art only worth of the Queen's Award for Export. But there was something more than a general rejection. Carlisle puts this down to a kind of snobbish intelluctual disdain for sculpture that is too accessable, too beautiful, too popular, too loved and concludes that she believes Moore's sculpture will outlive contemporary taste, haste and greed.
