Date & Collation: (Summer) 5(2) 75-77(8 illus).
Description: On occasion of Williams' exhibition at Margam Park. Includes a paragraph on how his approach to materials differs from that of Moore. I think you should push your material until it starts to squeal until it gives...essentially Moore produced surface carvings work which undulated the surface of the material but which didn't actually let you into it at all so there's always a mass in the middle...I much prefer the way stone is treated by the Cathedral builders. Look at the palm tree pillar in Salisbury Cathedral for example".

(Interview on being an assistant to Moore Moore's visit to Greece Clement Greenberg English perception of landscape as a pain in the neck Caro's newspaper texts on Moore Caro's own work human figure in sculptures).
14-15 WILLIAMS Glynn. Looking at Henry Moore.
(One of Britain's leading figurative sculptors describes his response to Henry Moore's work. "Not only has he commandeered an area of nature into his sculpture he has seemed to return the sculpture to nature as if replacing it in its real context... Henry Moore is probably the greatest draughtsman this country has produced this century... Moore was a natural carver... Moore was an intuitive formalist... Moore's sculptures seem to involve something that is so basic that one cannot imagine sculpture without it. Yet...he is an isolated figure").
16-21 GOLDING Martin. Henry Moore's Shelter drawings revisited.
(The sense in which the drawings were seen as a reverse of Moore's modernist achievements a turning point in his art and at the same time "as great as any works Moore created in any medium". The monumentality of his female figure drawings and the landscape elements in his later work. The Shelter drawings exhibited a fusion with his existing world of forms. "The sense of enclosure which he had explored earlier and his predilection for the impassive reclining figure chimed exactly with what he found on the Underground platforms." They draw also on the history of the human figure in art. Their "universal condition is absolutely real". The Shelter drawings gave Moore his first life s ubjects since the early 1930s and led to the fusion of Classical and Primitive forms which infused his work until the last).

Description: Review of The Life of Henry Moore (See 0000182). His life was entirely successful without being remotely interesting."

It took fifty years to shake off their executors and to see them for ourselves. This Life of Henry Moore is a worrying sign that the same thing may be happening to him.""
