On Being a Sculptor

Moore, Henry

Written by Moore in the 1930s, these three powerful, polemical texts lay out his ideas about sculpture, calling for truth to materials, openness to other sculptural traditions and understanding of the importance of scale. Illustrated with archival photographs and with an introduction by his daughter Mary Moore, this book gives new insights into Moore's working methods and inspiration and speaks directly to artists today.

Collectability score

An intimate Tate monograph pairing Henry Moore's personal reflections on three-dimensional form with evocative photographs of his modernist sculptural practice.
