Synopsis:
This account of Henry Moore's work has been constructed from the notes and drafts of a book on the sculptor which Peter Fuller was preparing in the years before his death in 1990. Although Moore is one of the rare breed of British artists who became a household name, his fluctuating reputation has been difficult to assess. From Fuller's polemically humanist, atheist viewpoint, Moore is seen as an exemplary artist, one who imaginatively transformed his material to express profound truths about our troubled relationship with our maternal roots and with nature itself. Resisting the aggressive fashions of Modernism, he drew on the older English Romantic tradition to create an art which was resolutely secular, and yet a commanding spriritual affirmation.

Book Description Hardbound. Golden brown cloth boards, white dust jacket with color illustration. 224 p., 234 illustrations including 81 in color. From the DJ: Through its numerous illustrations this volume surveys, in chronological order, Moore's vast oeuvre. All of Moore's major sculptural works are illustrated, from the early strongly representational works to the more abstract, famous sculptures with holes and those consisting of two or three separate pieces. Running counter to the variations in materials and style are the recurrent themes in Moore's work, often evoking archetypes, such as the Reclining Figure, the Mother and Child, the Warrior. VG/VG (shelf-wear to boards w/ light sunning. light wear to cloth. mild foxing to textblock & endpapers. dustjacket has light wear, scuffing & rubbing). Seller Inventory # 129419
