Henry Moore and the Arts Council Collection
Author: Henry Moore
Publisher: Hayward Gallery Publishing
ISBN: 9781853323027
Category : Sculpture
Languages : en
Pages : 0
Book Description
This beautiful, small-format book not only presents a number of key works by this major sculptor, but also examines his early relationship with the Arts Council Collection, as advisor to its acquisitions committee during the early 1950s. Henry Moore was a major force in shaping the sculpture collection of the ACC, advocating the acquisition of a significant group of post-war British sculpture by artists including Kenneth Armitage, Lynn Chadwick and Barbara Hepworth. Moore himself is strongly represented in the Collection - art historian Kenneth Clark, a critical figure in the history of the ACC, encouraged Moore to donate his early works - and 11 powerful sculptures, as well as 15 works on paper spanning five decades, appear in the Collection's holdings. These works are illustrated in colour in this beautifully-designed book, accompanied by an essay and critical commentary on individual works by Benedict Read. They provide a succinct history of Henry Moore's practice between 1929 and 1962, with key developments in both two- and three-dimensional works.

Henry Moore, Sculpting the 20th Century
Author: Dorothy M. Kosinski
Publisher: Yale University Press
ISBN: 0300089929
Category : Art
Languages : en
Pages : 332
Book Description
Henry Moore (1898-1986) is arguably one of the most famous and beloved sculptors of the twentieth century, yet in recent decades his work has fallen out of favor in the world of contemporary art criticism. This handsome book examines this intriguing contradiction and seeks to reassess Moore's crucial contribution to art of the last century. Looking at Moore's early engagements with primitivism, his 1930s dialogue with abstraction and surrealism, and his postwar interest in large-scale public sculpture, the authors show how the sculptor helped to define some of the most significant aspects of modernism. The authors also contextualize within the polemics of early modernism Moore's emphasis on direct carving instead of modeling and the necessary balance between abstraction and what he called the "psychological human element". Moore's early sculpture -- largely unfamiliar to the general public -- is given particular attention, enabling the reader to explore the evolution of thematic and formal elements in his work and his ongoing response to different materials. Photographs, some by Moore himself, of over 120 works, including plasters, maquettes, carvings, bronzes, and drawings, are featured, many of which are previously unpublished.
