Henry Moore: Carving a Reputation -1898-1945

The first of two documentary programmes marking the centenary of his birth looks at the young Henry Moore and includes some frank interviews with the women who loved him. It also meets the colleagues who watched him develop into the self-proclaimed (according to one contributor) greatest sculptor of the 20th Century.

Edna Ginesi, the woman who rejected Moore in favour of his best friend Raymond Coxon, was a member of the London Group and also worked as a theatrical designer. She was an ambulance driver during World War II and remained married to Coxon for 70 years until his death in 1997.

Originally broadcast 18 July 1998.
