Year: 1968
Date & Collation: 84pp + 24 slides, in folder.Text in English, French, German and Spanish.
Description: U.N.E.S.C.O. Slides 'Painting and Sculpture' series. Published in association with U.N.E.S.C.O. Henry Moore: Mère et Enfant/Mother and Child/Mutter und Kind/Madre e Hijo. 24 colour slides on the theme of sculpture produced between 1924 and 1961, together with a fourteen-page text by Read in four languages. Much of Moore's art is on the Mother and Child theme, a subject with an immediate and universal appeal, and one which exhibits all the formal characteristics of his art. The motif stems from the art of prehistoric times and remains a celebration of the miracle of creation, a symbol of life itself, renewed in every generation. Each slide is discussed briefly. Arranged in chronological sequence, they document the development of the theme, and other aspects of Moore's art throughout the years. In conclusion Moore's treatment of the human figure, which combines a humanity with a tragic conception of life, is seen as a measure of his greatness, synthesising as it does the particular and the universal.

Date & Collation: 176pp.53 plates.Bibliog.
Description: 123-137,169 Plates 41-46(6 illus) Henry Moore: the reconciling archetype.
Following a general opening section, this is one of eight chapters dealing with the work of individual artists. Discusses Moore's work on a psychological level centering around the themes of the Reclining Figure and the Mother and Child. His approach to the human figure is seen to be at variance with the historical ideal in art. By seeking the universal in the particular, through his obsessional themes, he is seen to produce great art.

Date & Collation: (22 April) 688-689(2 illus).
Description: Weekly Notes on Art series. The art of sculpture, which has been dead in England, and perhaps in Europe, for four centuries, is reborn in the work of Henry Moore, now on exhibition at the Leicester Galleries (See 0009327). His personal will to dominate material and form, and not to be balked by any conventions takes him to the head of the modern movement in sculpture. The key to the appreciation and understanding of Moore's work is in the nature of the material used and the translation of meaning into that material. Further to Moore's success is his awareness of form, and the ability to create out of a conception which inheres in the mass itself. Form is then an intuition of surface made by the sculptor imaginatively situated at the centre of gravity of the block before him". The illustrations are: Mother and Child 1930 Ham Hill stone and Composition 1931 blue Hornton stone. Letters commenting on this article appeared in the Listener for 29 April 1931 (Mark Springer on stone as stone) and 6 May 1931 (Percival Gough on creative forms of rebirth from the very material of the Earth; and C.S. Meacham "Russian Bolshevism destructive of all that is highest and best in life is indeed making a deep inroad into all that civilisation has done so far".)"

Description: Introduction to the understanding of art, based on a series of articles in The Listener.
148-153: Section 82(1 illus) Henry Moore.
Sculpture had been dead in England, and perhaps Europe, for 400 years, but is now reborn in the work of Henry Moore. The proper understanding of Moore's work is gained through his concern for the material, which has its own principles of form and structure. Moore's great success lies in his ability to create form from the inside outwards.
