(Moore married Irina Radetzky in 1929 and the couple lived at 11A Parkhill Road Hampstead for the next ten years. During the decade many international art figures lived in the immediate vicinity. Country cottages at Barfreston in 1931 and Kingston in 1934 gave Moore the space he needed for carvings. He exhibited from 1924 with one man shows from 1928 to adverse press criticism. Moore moved from the Royal College of Art to Chelsea School of Art where he taught for two days per week until 1940. Sketchbooks were produced throughout the decade with life drawings studies for sculpture and observations of Natural forms. Carvings of the decade are discussed in some detail. From 1935 the use of maquettes began. Moore's activities within Surrealist movement Unit One Circle are outlined. The outbreak of the Spanish Civil War and World War 2 end the decade and mark the removal to Much Hadham and the continuation of Moore's creativity into the work of the past 40 years)."
