Henry Moore
Reclining figure and the mother and child. David Mitchinson, Curator of the Henry Moore Foundation, describes Moore's early life, the influences upon him and the emergence of his distinctive style. The story is continued by Julian Stallabrass, who explains Moore's increasing popularity after the Second World War. Despite public controversy over some of the more disquieting pieces, Moore's work had become acceptable to a wide audience by the mid-1950s, and by the end of.
Hoglands
Hoglands was home to Henry Moore and his wife Irina for almost fifty years. This book traces the development of the house, Moore's studio, Irina's garden and their art collections from the early 1940s to the late 1980s, placing the history of the house within the broader context of Moore's life and work.

Henry Moore: Unpublished Drawings
N the work of every great artist there is an area that his public seldom sees--the notes, jottings, and drawings that contain his finished creations in embryo. These preparatory works are of the utmost importance to the study of art history, since they are often the key to the evolution of a work of art, indicating how a particular artists vision is translated from germinal idea to final form. In the case of Henry Moore, one of the great sculptors of our time, the discovery of more than 200 of his hitherto unpublished drawings is an exciting event not only for its historical significance but for the aesthetic joy the drawings evoke.

Henry Moore
Now available again, this collection of Henry Moore's plasters, drawings, and wood and stone sculptures offers a unique perspective on the artist's creative and technical process. Henry Moore is most celebrated for his monumental outdoor sculptures which can be seen in many major cities around the world. Lesser known are the sculptor's plaster pieces, which represent an important stage in the development of his work leading up to the final bronze sculptures. In this book Moore's sculptures are presented alongside a generous selection of his drawings and carvings made during the last decades of his life. Commentary by leading scholars offers readers a deeper understanding of the artist's approach to his work and the evolution of his worldview.
Henry Moore: 1930-39
This seventh and final volume in the complete catalog of Henry Moore's drawings is an essential key to the material contained in the other six volumes. It provides a consolidated version of all the reference apparatus contained in each of the other volumes (index, concordance and list of exhibitions), enabling the user to track down any particular drawing from any period or volume by means of its title, HMF or AG number. In addition, this volume includes a list of Addenda and Corrigenda relating to information that has come to light since this series was launched in 1994. Some 150 items are included in this section. The opportunity has also been seized to catalog about 600 previously unpublished drawings produced by Moore in the last two years of his life (1984-86) and held in the archives of the Henry Moore Foundation. About fifty of these are illustrated and give a flavor of the fine quality of the artist's output even as he approached the end of his life.
The Fran and Ray Stark Collection of 20th-century Sculpture at the J. Paul Getty Museum
This catalogue celebrates the recently installed collection of twentieth-century sculpture donated to the J. Paul Getty Trust by the Fran and Ray Stark Trust in 2005. The book takes the reader on a visual tour of the J. Paul Getty Museum's new sculpture gardens and installations, which features twenty-eight works by artists such as Alexander Calder, Alberto Giacometti, Ferdinand Leger, Roy Lichtenstein, Rene Magritte, Aristide Maillol, Joan Miro, Henry Moore, and Isamu Noguchi. The book offers essays on the curatorial decisions involved in establishing harmonious groupings; a history of European and American sculpture within built outdoor environments and gardens; and catalogue entries that discuss individual pieces within their broader art-historical contexts."
