Photograph of Head 1937 Hopton wood stone in the Modern Trends section with note to compare it with Brancusi's work. In the introduction Moore's emphasis on truth to material rather than the idea is criticised. He is also seen as "in no sense an architectural sculptor and does not pretend to be. For his works have no relation at all to architecture". They are seen as "lovely works all on a relatively small scale...almost entirely destined for private use in rooms and houses"."
