Henry Moore reflects on his life as an artist

Conversations with Artists

Available for over a year

In this relaxed interview with Edward Lucie-Smith, Henry Moore talks about drawing for pleasure rather than as a precursor to creating sculpture, the importance of the human body and landscape, and other artists who have inspired him along the way. There are anecdotes about putting his carving skills to good use in the school playground and the surprising revelation that Moore believes writing to be a more important art form than sculpture.
