Description: Part of the series 'Subject/Object: New Studies in Sculpture' produced by The Henry Moore Institute, Leeds and edited by Penelope Curtis. 87-9 reference to Moore in chapter titled 'Miss Hepworth's stone is a mother', by Anne M. WAGNER. Moore's preoccupation with sculpting mothers and infants pre-dates that of Hepworth by five years. It goes back to at least 1922, the year of a now-lost Mother and Child. WAGNER writes that Moore aimed at revitalisation, proposing new bodies and bodily relationships. Reference to a methaphor written by STOKES, around 1930; illus of Moore's Suckling Child 1927 cast concrete (LH 42); reduction of mother to a mere object, a single breast; Klein; the absence of mother, loss of the mother's body; Illus of Study of a Suckling Child c.1930-1 drawing (HMF 831); comparison to the work of Barbara Hepworth. Wagner writes Moore wanted sculpture to nuture and aimed to produce an art that could be made to play that role". 98-99 in chapter titled Sculpture and Psychoanalysis David HULKS writes that sculptors around the 1950s were highly attuned to the way that their works would often be regarded as displaying symptoms of psychosis. Reference to Moore's writing on Standing Figure 1950 (LH 290) installed by the lake at Battersea Gardens "a gaunt figure rising agitated verticals from the verge of a calm flat sheet of water"; and then when relocated in Scotland "the bleak and lonely setting of a grouse moor". Moore describes the work has become "an image of loneliness .... as if stripped to the bone by the winds of several centuries". HULKS writes that this work was re-worked and re-emerged as Double Standing Figure 1950 bronze (LH 291) shown in the Venice exhibition Geometry of Fear in 1952. HULKS describes this "double personality" as a "classic schizoid trait"; Moore's idea that doubling would produce greater cohesion and stability was achieved however it increased "the impression of some incurable psychiatric disorder". Reference to Herbert Read's suggestion that the Geometry of Fear is about despair of defiance. 100 illus of Standing Figure 1950 bronze at Dumfries. 105 discussion of 'splitting' and 'agitated verticals' in relation to Klein's theories."
