About this title

Review:

"John Hedgecoe, a longtime friend of the artist and a noted photographer, has produced a book of images with few words. First come 50 pages of Moore's forms as seen in the landscape; then a generous selection of major works in excellent and evocative photographs; and lastly 750 thumbnail images of Moore's sculpture forms. Not a catalogue raisonne but an inventory of Moore's 'amazing fund of ideas, ' this is clearly a very personal and satisfying book."
