History of art & design styles: from c 1900 -; Sculpture; Individual artists, art monographs

"Henry Moore has influenced the history of

twentieth - century sculpture more decisively

than anyone else. He was one of the first

contemporary sculptors to realise his ideas in

the public space throughout the world. His

oeuvre was a lasting source of inspiration for an

entire generation of artists

- from Hans Arp,

Alberto Giacometti and Pablo Picasso to the

younger generation of German sculptors. Henry Moore (1898 - 1 986), known as the

""Picasso of Sculpture"", is regarded as one of the

most important sculptors of the twentieth

century and the epitome of the modern artist.

Typical of his work is the interrelationship

between nature and abstraction. He discovered

the ""voi ds"", so - called openings and holes which

heighten the sculptural, three - dimensional

effect of his works. With this new approach

Moore exercised a strong influence on younger

sculptors, who gained decisive impulses from his

sculptures. This volume presents M oore as the

dominant personality of modern sculpture in

collaboration with the members of the younger

generation of artists."

Reviews for Henry Moore: A European Impulse

"""Though there has been no dearth of Moore exhibitions in the last two decades, this one, as embodied in this catalogue, distinguished itself by historicizing the presence of the British artist's work in postwar Germany and considering it alongside contemporaneous sculpture and drawings by mostly German artists. . . . The visual interplay of the works illustrated, together with the remarks about them, makes a powerful argument for the prevalence of organic abstraction, primitivism, and the vestigial remains of the figurative tradition in modern European sculpture. . . . Highly recommended.""-- ""Choice"""
