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120 works, including plasters, maquettes, carvings, bronzes, and drawings, are featured, many of which are previously unpublished.

"For both admirers and students of Henry Moore's work, this book will be a blessing. Moore's humanity and intelligence make this compendium a plea-sure to dip into as well as scholarly and comprehensive."--Roger Berthoud, author of The Life of Henry Moore "Alan Wilkinson has trawled the rich material with exemplary thoroughness.... The nature and purpose of Moore's writing is illuminated. The introduction reflects Wilkinson's long friendship with Moore, and the commentary and notes testify to a remarkable knowledge of the artist's work, his circle and his ideas."--Sir Alan Bowness, editor of the Henry Moore Complete Sculpture Series

"Universally recognized as one of the supreme sculptors of the twentieth century, Henry Moore's position as the greatest living British artist was unchallenged from the late 1940s until his death in 1986. Son of a Yorkshire miner, Moore trained at Leeds School of Art and won a scholarship to the Royal College of Art, where he rejected the academic tradition of modelling in favour of direct carving; his early style was characterized by monumentality and formal vigour. In the 1930s he became more closely aligned with the mainstream of European avant-garde art, but even his most abstract work was almost always based on natural forms. It was at this time that Moore developed some of his most characteristic stylistic traits, including his use of hollowed-out rounded forms, his interest in the relationship of the human form to the landscape, and such perennial themes as the reclining female figure and mother and child. Wider international fame came with Moore's sensitive and poignant Shelter drawings, made in his role of Official War artist during World War II. In 1948 he won the International Sculpture Prize at the Venice Biennale, which led to many public commissions. In his later work he preferred bronze to stone as his chosen medium and began work on an extremely large scale. This lavishly illustrated volume provided a fascinating introduction to a twentieth-century genius. An authoritative text highlights the complexity and variety of Moore's themes and discusses his life and working methods, while a host of full-colour plates provides a glorious record of the full range of Moore's work."--Publisher's description
