Description: Personal reminiscences of abstract art and artists in London and Paris in the 1930s by the editor of Axis. Includes brief mentions of Moore, including the paragraph: Henry Moore would not be pinned down either. The purity of his approach to the vital forms in wood or stone allied him to the abstract painters while the mixture of incongruity sensuality and inevitability of his pierced concaved separated (like the detached belfry of a Gothic church) figures bound him to the poetry of Surrealism. I remember his absolute affability and his single-mindedness. He agreed with good sense to anything that would further the cause of good art in our time. Knowing that contemporaneity is essential; that it is impossible to look back."
