Description: Portfolio of five Lithographs 1974 (Cramer 356-360) in a total edition of 75. Preface by Henry MOORE. Short text describing how he was dissatisfied with some Helmet Head drawings and tore them up, only to realise the power of the single eye in the fragments. They were mounted collage form in a sketchbook. The Spanish Prisoner, 1939 lithograph is recalled, together with the first Helmet Head sculpture of 1940. Whilst working on these new prints I surrounded the head fragments with frames or window openings to give them the suggestion of soldiers observing the enemy from concealed positions behind battlements.""
