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".)"

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.
