Alan Bowness, Henry Moore. Sculpture and Drawings, vol. 5 (1974-1980), London 1983, no. 673 (illu. in black and white, different copy). "The reclining figure gives most freedom compositionally and spatially. The seated figure has to have something to sit on. You can"t free it from its pedestal. A reclining figure can recline on any surface. It is free and stable at the same time [..] also, it has repose, it suits me."
