Background to Henry Moore
"QNE of the first things that strikes one in Henry Moore's sculpture is not only what he himself has called ‘truth to material,’ but his delight in all kinds of materials-stone wood, concrete, bronze and lead. They are not merely a medium, a means; they are ends in themselves, . . And in the same way, incidentally, Moore loves his tools,
and I dare say he has a deep sense of appropriateness between tool and material giving him, in his own words. ‘an active relationship’ with that material." Thus does Professor W. A. Sewell, Professor of English at Ankara Univers-
_-_ Oe ity (and ‘formerly at Auckland University College), introduce the sculptor Henry Moore in the first of two talks, "Love of Material," to be heard from 1YC on Wednesday, April 4, and 3YC on Thursday, April 5. The second talk is "The Significance of Musie and Sculpture."
