An intriguing conversation exploring the relationship of Henry Moores career to that of Paul Klee is the focus of this handsome exhibition catalog accompanying the exhibition at Zentrum Paul Klee. Curators Sebastiano Barassi of the Henry Moore Foundation, Matthew Gale of the Tate Modern and Fabienne Eggelhofer of the Paul Klee Center have assembled a cross-section of Moores sculpture and paintings that demonstratethough the two artists never met, their closely related anti-academic stance and shared idea of a natural creative process. Both artists avoided the avant-garde debates on figuration and abstraction, and both, argue the shows curators, were concerned with allowing their work to combine abstract and surrealist, classical and romantic elements, in a sense, pointing the way toward postmodern stylistic diversity. With 80 images and essays by the three curators, this publication is a welcome addition to scholarship in the field.

Monografie over het leven en werk van de Engelse beeldhouwer Henry Moore (1898-1986).

It is particularly in the post-war years that British artist Henry Moore (1898-1986) won international acclaim for his semi-abstract sculptures, often inspired by natural, organic forms. The reclining figure also represents a central theme in the sculptor's work. The twelve works in the exhibition explore both these aspects of Moore's oeuvre. The siting of the modern sculptures in the Rijksmuseum gardens is spectacular, set against the 19th century façade of the museum building. 0Exhibition: Rijksmuseum, Amsterdam, the Netherlands (22.6.-29.9.2013).

Henry Moores sanft geschwungene Formen der fantastischen Plastiken fügen sich wunderbar in die Landschaft Nordfrieslands ein und finden im prachtvollen Garten Emil Noldes ein spannungsvolles Gegenüber. In der großen Harmonie von Figur und Landschaft offenbart sich die elementare Verbindung von Mensch und Natur, die beiden Künstlern ein Grundanliegen ist. Sie zeigt in der Idee von Landschaft, Natur und menschlicher Figur überraschende Gemeinsamkeiten zwischen Henry Moore und Emil Nolde.
