'...a landmark in the literature on Moore. A nice balance is struck between the account of Moore's life and the use of criticism to place and assess his work.' Frances Spalding in Listener '...[it] conveys Moore's great personal charm as well as his artistic achievement; it is hard to imagine it being bettered.' Economist '...impeccably documented, admirably organized and undeniably gripping...' Hilary Spurling in Daily Telegraph '...[a] very readable biography -- the first to give us a comprehensive account of the artist...He knew Moore. He liked him and -- what is most important -- he has a vivid understanding of both the man and his work.' Hilton Kramer in Boston Globe
Roger Berthoud was born in 1934 and educated at Rugby and Cambridge. He became a journalist after a brief spell in the City, joining the Evening Standard in 1960. There he specialized in the art world, interviewing many painters and covering the major auctions at Sotheby's and Christie's. Having edited the Londoner's Diary for two years, he joined The Times in 1967 as founding editor of a Times Diary strongly orientated towards the arts. Two years later he became correspondent first in Bonn and then in Brussels, returning to London in 1975 as a feature writer and interviewer. He left The Times in 1982 to become deputy editor of the Illustrated London News, ending his journalistic career as chief leader writer for the Independent. Among other works, he has written the definitive biography of Graham Sutherland (1982).
