Description: Unpublished B.A.(Hons) Fine Art Sculpture thesis. The Helmet, 1939-1940 bronze; Helmet Head No. 1, 1950 bronze; Helmet Head No. 2, 1950 bronze; Helmet Head No. 5, 1966 bronze.
1: A description of the pieces of sculpture relevant to this essay.
(The Helmet 1940 is related to the Classical Greek helmet which Moore no doubt knew from the British Museum. The interior form is seen as a figure, the exterior a smooth shell, the two forms together creating the complete image. The interior figure is both imprisoned and protected. The later works explore further permutations of interior and exterior form, with the image made closer to our own time by a similarity with World War 2 Helmets. Eyes and asymmetrical elements are introduced into the 1950 works, while the 1966 piece has more abstract interior form).
2. Looking at some of the works produced by Moore's contemporaries which show a similarity in image with the Helmet Head.
(Elements in works by Brancusi, Epstein, Picasso and Giacometti are related to Moore).
3. An Investigation of the themes well established in Moore's work which recur in the Helmet series...
(Reclining Figure, Mother and Child, Interior and Exterior, Warrior and Stringed Figures are all seen in the Helmets).
4. The relationship between Moore's Helmet series, his War work and the tradition of associated war images.
(Chronological proximity relates the Helmet to the Shelter drawings. Links are suggested with Nevinson, Goya and Rosenquist).
5. An explanation of the manner by which Moore's studio techniques may have influenced the forms used in the Helmet Head sculptures.
(Initial ideas may have evolved from mould used in casting, although Moore denies this in favour of forms in nature).
6. Conclusion.
(Moore used well-known art historical image as a simple exercise in form).

Publisher: Cramer
Place Published: Geneva
Year: 1975
Date & Collation: Print album.
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."

Description: Information sheet on Mirror Knife Edge, 1977 bronze, providing information on the commission and works by Moore leading up to the bronze. Aspects of the human figure and other natural forms are subtly discernible... Rounded curves meet sharp edges. The larger weighty volume swells like a hillside or maternal breast in contrast to the small piece which relates to it like a sheer wedge of bone or cliff. The work is a study in oppositions: two parts seemingly both male and female and dramatically juxtaposed yet they evoke the essence of a whole.""
