Face to Face - Henry Moore
John Freeman interviews Henry Moore in this programme from the series renowned for its frank and open approach. Moore talks about his much-loved father, his inspirational school art teacher (with whom he is still in touch), the cost of materials and how much he hates working to commission.
Some of the 20th Century's most notable figures were interviewed for this series, including Martin Luther King, Carl Jung and Bertrand Russell. The programme was usually filmed in a TV studio, but a memo in the BBC archives from producer Hugh Burnett confirms that "it was not possible to lure Henry Moore to the studio" for Face to Face, so the interview took place instead at his home in Perry Green, Hertfordshire.
