About this title

From the Publisher:

Henry Moore’s rise from Yorkshire miner’s son to international acclaim as the 20th century’s greatest sculptor is one of the most remarkable stories in British art. In this handsomely illustrated second edition of The Life of Henry Moore—now revised, updated, expanded, and redesigned—Roger Berthoud charts Moore’s transition from controversial young modernist to celebrated pillar of the art world establishment. Drawing on his weekly interviews with the sculptor as well as a mass of material, including early letters and interviews with Moore’s friends and associates, Berthoud gives us a lively, balanced, definitive portrait of Henry Moore’s long life and career. New Edition

Roger Berthoud, former arts journalist for The Times and the Independent, is also the author of the definitive biography of Graham Sutherland.

About the Author:

Roger Berthoud was born in 1934 and educated at Rugby and Cambridge. He became a journalist after a brief spell in the City, joining the Evening Standard in 1960.

Having edited the Londoner's Diary for two years, he joined The Times in 1967 as founding editor of a Times Diary strongly orientated towards the arts. Two years later he became correspondent first in Bonn and then in Brussels, returning to London in 1975 as a feature writer and interviewer. He left The Times in 1982 to become deputy editor of the Illustrated London News, ending his journalistic career as chief leader writer for the Independent.
