Date & Collation: 52 mins.Colour.Sound.Written, produced and narrated by John READ.
Description: Produced in association with R.M. Productions (Munich). Moore is interviewed at Much Hadham by John Read who introduces the artist and outlines his career. Sources of inspiration surrounding Moore's desk are explained and discussed, including Cézanne's Bathers and Moore's sculptural versions of the figures (Three Bathers: After Cézanne, 1978 bronze), Dürer's Portrait of Conrad Verkell; and works by Seurat and Rembrandt. Moore shows pages from a sketchbook influenced by Rembrandt's drawing techniques. Moore's pre-war drawings are shown, with comments by the artist on the science of drawing. The War Drawings are explained by Moore: his notes, sketchbooks and larger drawings as a war artist. The initial discovery of the Reclining Figures and perspective of tunnels developed into an interest in specific figures and attitudes and the use of drapery. These are related to works by Masaccio and Mantegna. Coal Mine Drawings are shown with male figures in action in darkness. Post-war works are outlined: Figures in Settings, influence of country in hedgerow and tree sketches and sheep. Moore's printmaking activities are seen, with the appearance of Alistair Grant on etchings and Stanley Jones describing lithographic processes. Brief general views of Moore's studios and his drawings of his grandson complete the film.
