1931 purchase of a bronze by Max Sauerlandt from a Hamburg Kunstverein exhibition for Museum für Kunst und Gewerbe: the first of Moore's works to be purchased by a museum outside England. Friendship with Walter Gropius, Curt Valentin, H.R. Fischer, Hermann Noack. Exhibitions in Germany from 1950 onwards. Controversy over Stuttgart's Draped Reclining Woman, 1957-1958 bronze, and other public works in German towns. Connections with Germany in the graphic works: Goethe's Prometheus (See 0008261) and the War Drawings with the 1967 facsimile (See 0005394). References to reactions against Nazism, with a cleansing through the acceptance of Moore's humanism. Moore's simple lines correspond to the Bauhaus spirit. His love of archetypes suited the German need for myths. Contrast with work of Beuys and the Neo-Expressionists.
