Description: First paperback edition, based on 1967 work (See 0009688), revised and corrected. Culminating volume of The Pelican History of Art.
514-519,etc(2 illus) Henry Moore.
In a section on Stanley Spencer and Henry Moore, in the chapter Independent Schools and Masters. Outlines Moore's career, influences, materials and main works. Such works might have been admired only for the sculptor's technical control of his recalcitrant materials and for the assurance they offered that modern sculpture might once again equal in formal power the works of the primitive and archaic cultures of the past had not Moore infused them with a specifically contemporary quality as unmistakably visible as it is difficult to describe. It has something to do with the implacable generalizations that removed from his figures any connotations of the immediate present." Other references to Moore occur mainly in sections on Abstract Art in England and The Surrealist Movement in England."
