Henry Moore: Complete Drawings

5/5 ( ratings)

Volume 4 in the complete catalog of Henry Moore's drawings covers the period 1950 to 1976. Its publication marks the completion of the chronological catalog of Moore's drawings. Although Moore's overwhelming preoccupation during this period was his sculpture, he nevertheless found time to experiment with different media, drawing with felt-tipped pens and brush-and-ink on tissue paper laid down on normal-weight drawing paper, for example. He also painted on blotting paper, using random offset patches of watercolor as a starting-point for his imagination--which never faltered, despite the increasing physical frailty which beset him during the 1970s as his eightieth birthday approached. This volume is the largest in the series and features about 2000 entries and accompanying illustrations. The considerable research work which has gone into establishing the chronology and media of the drawings in this volume will be welcomed by Moore scholars worldwide.
