“There are universal shapes to which everybody is subconsciously conditioned and …” — Henry Moore

There are three fundamental poses of the human figure. One is standing. The other is seated, and the third is lying down... Of the three poses, the reclining figure gives the most freedom, compositionally and spatially.

I believe that nothing should be taboo - no theory or prejudice should close one's mind to a discovery.

In Giacometti's work, the armature has once again become the life-line of the sculpture, and also, he's brought back to sculpture a nervous sensitivity which the 'pure carving' side of sculpture can lose sight of altogether.

I admit clearly and frankly that early Mexican art formed my views of carving as much as anything I could do.
