20-71 LICHTENSTERN Christa. Henry Moore and antiquity: the long voyage of self-discovery.
(A major essay, with 65 accompanying illustrations, is part of a planned larger study. Moore's original stimulus was from primitive art, but at the same time he was taking note of Cycladic art. As a student he drew from plaster casts and assimilated antique knowledge, as seen from his History of Sculpture: Notes (See 0010633). He saw sculpture from all periods in the British Museum and other collections. His world view of art is evident from drawings in the early sketchbooks. His early preference for Cycladic sculpture is recalled in Henry Moore at the British Museum (See 0000000). He drew Mycenaen tombs in his early sketchbooks, and Hellenistic themes are seen in his preparatory sketches for the West Wind, 1928-1929 Portland stone. The Lyre Player from Keros influenced his sculpture, as did Etruscan sarcophagi. These aspects are related to surrealist and landscape elements in Moore's work, including Sculptural Objects, 1949 lithograph. Moore's Homer illustrations for The Rescue (See 0000000) are discussed, and their drapery is related to Moore's sculpture of the time, including Three Standing Figures, 1947-1948 Darley Dale stone. Warriors, antiquity and Moore's 1951 visit to Greece are linked and the sculptor's possible sources indicated. The Elgin Marbles and drapery in Moore's work, leading to the unique synthesis of his three compelling endeavors of the 1950s: drapery analogy with nature and the all-round-round view". Victory of Sam othrace as an influence on Moore's Knife Edge Figures. "Moore was not in need of direct dependent relationships in order to bring something Greek into his work...the Greek element was alive in him").
