Description: Moore's obsession showed the early influence of Pre-Columbian art before his own special characteristics emerged, moving further from naturalism. Statements by Moore are incorporated in a discussion on Reclining Figure, 1945-1946 elm wood, the Dartington Hall Memorial Figure, 1945-1946 Hornton stone and Reclining Figure, 1935-1936 elm wood. Drawings of figures in the shelters have a static life more intense than ours" and corollories are made with Moore's mining background and the theme of death. The related Mother and Child theme reveals in the Northampton Madonna and Child 1943-1944 Hornton stone an "immovability permanence and eternity...Moore's deepest theme is resurrection". This article is summarised in 0005614. See also 0008302."
