Description: In issue on the theme Britain and Beyond: the dialogue of ideas". Bulletin of the Archives and Documentation Centers for Modern and Contemporary Art. Read's diehard modernism and Fuller's maverick traditionalism. Compares the approaches of the two critics to Henry Moore whose crucial importance to them is a common factor. "It is not surprising that Moore's art appeals to critics with a psychological bent. His sculpture is dominated by two themes pregnant with psychological significance: the reclining female figure and the mother-child relationship". Read's interest in Moore's archetypal imagery and vitalism; and in Freud. Fuller's application of psychoanalysis to Moore using the theories of D.W. Winnicott. Read "contrasts Moore's achievement with what immediately precedes him Fuller contrasts him with what follows...Moore's work represents a triumphant affirmation of humanist spirituality at a time when such values are widely threatened and challenged...Fuller's identification of Moore with the neo-romantics became important in this perspective...The compatibility of Read's idealist-vitalist duality and Fuller's citation of Burke's beautiful and sublime opposition is striking...Read accommodates all oppositions...But Fuller's outlook is...Moore versus the new sculptors".
