Publisher: Collins
Place Published: London
Year: 1966
Date & Collation: 32pp(4 illus).32 plates.Biog.Bibliog.
Description: Fontana U.N.E.S.C.O. Art Books series. Attempts to explain the universal significance of Moore's work stemming from his obsession with human figure, particularly Reclining Figure and Mother and Child. Cites Moore's distinction between beauty and vitality as the function of art, and the notion of universal shapes. Moore escapes the pathos that exists in most representations of the Mother and Child theme by his symbolic or universal portrayal of the figures. Archetypes are explained in Jungian terms, and Moore's use of the imagery is found to be essentially human and is not in need of an intellectual justification...based on observation not on speculation."
