Footnotes

'At first attempt an idea can't always be realised as well as one imagines it. Therefore, sometimes one does a series of trials on the same idea. These are all on that idea of a woman seated in a rough, brickwalled room. The partial position of the figure leaves one scope for imagination yet there is always enough of the room and of the figure to convey a sense of reality.'
— Henry Moore
