Abstract: "Henry Moore is one of the most important sculptors of the 20th century. The British artist's love of experimenting with a wide range of materials and techniques, his independent approach to his work and the interrelationship of figuration and abstraction characteristic of his sculptures have fundamentally inspired and shaped a younger generation of artists. This volume presents Henry Moore in an extensive survey that simultaneously brings into focus the European reception of his oeuvre."--book cover
