One of the contributors, George WASHBURN, quotes a letter received from Henry Moore in which the artist states that although he has admired Japanese art, he has never been consciously influenced by it. But I suppose that everything which one appreciates must have some influence even though one isn't aware of it.""

Publisher: Zwemmer
Place Published: London
Year: 1958
Date & Collation: 24pp(1 illus).32 plates(33 illus).Biog.Bibliog.
Description: Modern Sculptors series. Eight-page introduction by Hodin, followed by selections from the writings of Henry Moore. Moore's work is placed against a background of 20th century consciousness. At the same time it is rooted in the English landscape, in human consciousness, and inspired by archaic and Primitive art. Moore builds monuments to the dramatic grandeur of nature." He is able to develop themes in his art by building on the experiments of earlier 20th century artists. The Reclining Figure and Mother and Child works are seen as dominant psychological archetypes in his oeuvre. Jungian and Gestalt writers on Moore are discussed briefly and their interpretations viewed in the "totality of a truly human outlook" and "a deeply founded artistic and human curiosity".

The similarities between Moore and Hepworth are outlined, and compared to the Braque-Picasso phenomenon of the cubist period". Sculptural comparisons are drawn with Gabo Pevsner and Arp. After 1945 the two follow more divergent paths: "Moore lets himself be guided by no tendency by no preconceived rule." Because of his many exhibitions Moore has become "one of the great stars of modern art" contrasting with Hepworth's relative effacement.

Description: The first monograph on Henry Moore: an attractively designed book produced by Lund Humphries, with a brief biographical note, photographs of six Drawings 1928-1933 and 32 carved Sculptures 1924-1933. There is also a frontispiece photograph of Henry Moore with Mother and Child, 1932 green Hornton stone. In his introduction Read outlines some of the problems of sculpture and the distinction between carving and modelling. A quotation from Henry Moore sets out the connection in his work between drawing and carving. The importance of Natural forms to Moore is stressed, and his application of them to his carvings. Finally Read recommends an unfailing integrity of purpose in the life of an original artist, and finishes with the sentence: There has been no compromise in the life of Henry Moore and now in the fullness of his powers he offers us the perfected product of his genius."
