Description: Review, in Miscellany column, of Moore, Hitchens and Gross exhibition (See 0009088). Henry Moore is an artist whom it is particularly difficult to criticise...in front of his works I vary between enthusiasm dislike and mere bewilderment." His sculpture is seen as "eclectic" his drawings as having "a romantic beauty" his Reclining Figures as "vulture-picked versions of Renaissance figurines". Of the Stringed Figures: "What the purchaser does when mice nibble the twine I cannot imagine unless he can get his sculpture restrung by Messrs. Lillywhite or Slazenger." See also 0009097."
