32-41 PACKER William. The sculpture of Henry Moore.
(Notes the unity of Moore's work over the years and his growth to pre-eminence in art. His career is discussed from the early influences and the acquisition of technical skills through travel and the confrontation between Primitive and Classical art and the development of his own personal imagery. His emergence in the 1930s is placed within the cultural context of that decade. The war provided a useful pause to consolidate his sculptural thinking in the Shelter drawings before returning to sculpture through commissions in the 1940s and using Hoglands as a base for the production of monumental works of the later years which have their origins in the experiments of his youth. "Henry Moore is without the slightest doubt a very great artist who stands four-square in the great humanist tradition...").

132-135 PACKER William. The drawings of Henry Moore.
(Discusses briefly graphic output of sculptors and argues that Moore's drawings by themselves would not "sustain a larger reputation as a draughtsman" although certain phases of his graphic output are praised - the early life drawings the wartime sketch books and the late works: "rich material and masterly results").
