Description: Portfolio of a total of 17 Etchings 1972-1974 (Cramer 196-201, 225-235) in a total edition of 95. Text by Henry MOORE: Sheep have always had some special meaning for me more so than cows or horses whether it is that I saw them as a boy in parts of the Yorkshire landscape or whether it's from reading in the Bible in early childhood where sheep have a special mention and not horses for instance I really would not like to say." The artist recalls how he retreated to a studio looking out on sheep while sculpture was being packed for a large exhibition. "Being like sheep they looked like sheep they had a sheepish look and they would just stare and stand still for nearly five minutes you could say in a professional manner so that I could spend longer trying to draw them..." The sketch book takes them through the lambing mother and child season through shearing with "the sheep looking less attractive less like sheep". Observation developed the sheep from simple balls of wool to more sophisticated studies. Etching produced a more sensitive line than drawing. Moore then provides a brief description of the works in the album and concludes with a note on his love of drawing and his use of forms from nature."
