Footnotes
'Often an idea can't be realised as well as you think it in your imagination, and therefore often I do a series of attempts or trials on the same idea, and this lot are all the same thing, of a figure seated in a rough kind of room - I mean a brick-walled room - but only partially in the picture, so that one gets, as it were, the corner of the room with the figure, leaving you things to imagine.'
— Henry Moore
