0002478
Publisher: Wildenstein
Place Published: New York
Year: 1979
Date & Collation: (14 Nov)-1980(18 Jan).80pp(84 illus).Bibliog.Foreword by Harry A.BROOKS.Introduction and commentary on the drawings by Henry MOORE.
Description: Texts from tape recordings made especially for the exhibition (See 0002593-0002595). 172 drawings arranged as Drawings from Life; Landscape Subjects; Figures and Ideas for Sculpture; Drawings from Imagination; Interpretations.
In the introduction Moore speaks of his lifelong love of drawing, and of his techniques. While the drawings were at one time ideas for sculpture, they can now exist as an independent outlet for ideas. In his comments on individual works Moore speaks of drawing as a process of discovery, and also because of emotional involvement with the subject. There are reminiscences and comments on Hands theme, Sheep, Trees theme, the Landscape, Heads theme, Cézanne, etc. Moore comments on his obsessions and inexhaustible subjects: Mother and Child theme, Reclining Figure theme, Interior and Exterior theme. The Human figure is the basis of all my sculpture and that for me means the female nude. In my work women must outnumber men by at least fifty to one. Men get brought in when they are essential to the subject for example in a Family Group. I like women and find the female figure means more to me than the male."
In his Foreword Harry Brooks recalls his connections with Henry Moore dating back to 1946."
