Description: Also published in New York by Thames and Hudson (Norton). Distributed in Canada by Oxford University Press Canada. Reproduction of the 1972 Sheep Sketchbook in its original size. Clark's one-page text introduces the subject: one is astonished to find how many interesting constructions of form a ewe and lamb can produce and how monumental a single sheep can become. We expect Henry Moore to give a certain nobility to everything he draws..."
Moore's three-page text explains how he retired to a small studio to escape the disturbance being caused by the packing of exhibits for the Florence exhibition. Sheep wandered close to his window and he became interested in their form. Lambs came along "and there in front of me was the mother-and-child theme...the large form related to the small form and protecting it." The last few drawings were undertaken on the return from Florence when the sheep had been shorn revealing the shape underneath the wool.
A laminated paper cover reprint appeared in 1984. For French edition see 0001800."

Description: Animals as a theme in the work of Henry Moore. There are photographs of 178 works by Moore, 21 in colour, plus 37 works by other artists, with two photographs of Moore, and one of the Elephant Skull. A fifteen-page Preface and Introduction is followed by seven sections of photographs, each with an introductory commentary. There are brief quotations from Moore and others. The Preface acknowledges the contributors to the work. The Introduction stresses that the works are not realistic interpretations but bold original shapes emphasizing individual animal character". Drawings display the range from studies of bone form to "more deliberate studies from life" of sheep. The sculpture reminds us of pressure from within in bronze and marble carvings derived and transformed from primitive and natural forms and of the work of other artists particularly the pioneers of modern sculpture like Brancusi and Picasso. Strachan quotes from conversations with Moore on Mexican and prehistoric art on Medieval carvings and the Surreal and fantastic. He notes Moore's compulsive draughtsmanship in all forms of graphic media.
