Description: A search for the meaning in the forms and images of modern art.
59-105,12 plates(19 illus) Henry Moore.
Moore's work has the outward appearance of Primitive art, but springs from the culture of today's world. Macabre sub-human figures, unwieldy antidiluvian forms, seem to be the very antithesis of modern man. Herbert Read is cited in explaining the art historical concepts of simplifying sculpture in the post-Brancusi age. The psychology of Jung has revealed the part played by the unconscious in producing archetypal images. Moore's art is warmed by a sort of deep faith and assurance. For it has gone back in search of the taproot of human life...whence modern humanity...can draw fresh nourishment and rear itself again". Carving into stone is equated with mythological themes of descent into the underworld. "The Dartington Memorial figure in particular seems to lie in the womb of time with quiet assurance." Dismemberment of hands feet and cutting the head to a stump is equated with myths of death as a necessary preliminary to rebirth. The notion of birth is more obvious in the parent and family pieces. Alchemical projections and symbols are discussed as are concepts of Zen Buddhism not always with direct reference to Moore's work. Some disturbing elements are noted including a "retreat from reality" and "certain schizoid traits" although no direct examples are cited."

66-71 Reclining Figures.
(Moore "in 1945 came to represent the entire spirit of English modernism in the visual arts". He was widely accepted as the greatest sculptor in the world. Outlines his early career and the influence of primitive art and of his European contemporaries. Moore turned the Reclining Figure theme into his own trademark. "The real point was that the reclining figure represented a reaction against the Renaissance ideal of the upright standing image... The reclining figure in contrast stressed above all the human relationship to the ground." Notes Moore's obsession with natural forms and landscape the success of the Shelter drawings and his subsequent position. There are half-a-dozen other mentions of Moore mainly in the section on Anthony Caro."

Sculpture had been dead in England, and perhaps Europe, for 400 years, but is now reborn in the work of Henry Moore.
