HENRY MOORE

This is the first book to look exclusively at the plaster works of H. Moore. Until recently the plasters have been regarded as prepa ratory stages in Moore's sculptural process rather than works of art in their own right. In fact they convey a sense of immediacy an d complexity of texture that is less prominent in the finished bronzes. Acutely aware of the changes that occurred in his sculptures , once he cast them from plaster to bronze, Moore made a number in plaster only.
