About the Book

Great Art Is Not Perfect

This catalog of Henry Moore's (1898-1986) work presents once again one of the great innovators of 20th century sculpture with selected works, among others from the collection of Tate Modern, London. The motto »Great Art Is Not Perfect« refers to Henry Moore's basic principle of observing and working along nature, and realizing his sculptural ideas in line with the true nature of the material. Moore was one of the most popular -English artists, not just during his lifetime. Like no other, he stands for an explicitly humanistic idea of man. A cross-section of his sculptural work (together with a -selection of drawings) at the Zentrum Paul Klee aims to bring back to memory the achievements of Henry Moore whilst spanning a bridge to the work of Paul Klee. Although the two artists had never met, they appear very closely related in their anti-academic stance, and both represent the idea of a creative process where their works develop in line with nature. Both avoid-ed the debates of the avant-gardes regarding figuration and abstraction, and both, in view of this dispute, were concerned with maintaining an artistic personality whose work combines abstract and surrealist as well as classical and romantic elements. In this sense, both artists pointed the way to a postmodern--and now perceived as a completely natural--diversity of style.

Exhibition:
ZPK center Paul Klee, Berne, 29/1-25/5/2015


About the Author:

Henry Moore (1898-1986) was the British sculptor with enormous response in the second half of the 20th century. His sculptures characterized for a longer period the public space in various dimensions. The TV reports in Germany from the governments seat for example had been over years opened with the view on the bungalow with a Moore sculptur in front of it. In his forms Henry Moore formulated the abstraction of the human body, typically as Mother and Child or Reclining Figures. No doubt that his work is exhibited worldwide in the 20th century while his creator gots awards and numerous titles of honory doctor, significant was his refusal of the ennobling by the Queen 1951, but he accepted for his work nominations for the honorary membership 1961 in the American Academy of Arts, 1963 the Order of Merit, 1972 in the French Académie des Beaux Arts, and 1980 the membership of the American Philosophical Society. After his death 31st August 1986 his ash was buried at St Paul's Cathedral in London.
