More vantage points are possible than in the gallery. More selection is possible, only one piece being seen at a time and then in light and against color which emphasizes the peculiar qualities of the various materials which Henry Moore favors — wood, stone and metal. This emphasis on material and the artist's respect for the native quality of the materials, is one of the broad implications of the film. Technically the film is a beautiful achievement."
