Omnibus: Henry Moore: The Language of Sculpture

on BBC One London

A summer season of six programmes about the arts and music of the 20th century.

Tonight: Henry Moore: The Language of Sculpture
This film by John Read begins in the mountains above Carrara where Michelangelo bought his marble and ends on the ramparts of the Belvedere fortress in Florence, where nearly half a million people saw Moore's sculptures in an unforgettable setting. It was the largest exhibition of his work that there has ever been and it contained, some of his finest sculptures brought together from all over the world.
To celebrate the 80th birthday of England's greatest living artist, Omnibus shows again a film that gives a definitive account of Moore's achievement and visits him in his studio in England to record his own account of how his understanding of sculpture is related to his feelings for the forms of nature and the shapes of the human figure.
