Svensson points out that Moore is the first English artist for centuries to achieve active international standing. The sculptor's life and influences are outlined. Predominating his work are the figurative themes focusing on the Mother and Child, Family Group, and Reclining Figure. The sculptures are free from sensualism but carry the stamp of a strong feeling for the material Everything that is individual or incidental has been ground away in favour of the essentials...In everything he creates there is a straight forward seriousness to which one must surrender"."
