Some of the difficulties are incidental; the materials need strength and patience to handle; and when the work is finished there is no predestined place for it. Plastic shape in the abstract is shape in the abstract, while carving shape however abstract. ----Monograph of Henry Moore 1934 "Whatever its plastic value, a figure carved in stone is fine carving when one feel that not the figure, but the stone, this the medium of the figure, has come to life." -"She tells the future and I am commissioned to verify it." -Anita Brookfield?

Fern leaves pressed in the book; page in center of the book filled with names and addresses; van Gogh-like portrait of bearded man with a cap; sketch of Herman Maril?; feather pressed in this book; text: Sculpture is the conversation of any man of matter without formal meaning into a man that has been given formal meaning as the result of human will. Rodin didn't bring art the lifeness of --- what he tried to do was In art only that which has character is beautiful&.To this great artist everything in nature has character. There is nothing ugly in art except that which is without character that is to say. That which offers no other or inner truth what ever is false, whatever is artificial. (From inserted sheets of paper): "By beauty of form in sculpture I do not mean statues which have the meaning of beautiful bodies; I mean sculpture which has the meaning of geometrical forms, a work of sculpture in the reconstruction of which the architectural activity has not predominated is a poor thing; if in only an empirical approximation the production of an imitative eye and a hand trained in art school." "Sculptural feeling is appreciation of masses in relation. Sculptural ability is the defining of those masses by planes?"
