Together with a maquette version of the same book, Form and Space, signed and titled by the artist on the front board in paint. In this collection of developmental sketches and notes, t…he artist writes, "the continual everlasting problem for me is to combine sculptural form (power) with human sensitivity and meaning, to try to keep the Primitive Power with humanist content." Heads, Figures and Ideas contains one of Moore's earliest lithographs produced by Curwen Prints, Thirteen Standing Stones. 1958, the year of publication, was the year in which the Curwen Studio was founded and the press ventured into art and print-making. The studio enjoyed a long association with Henry Moore. Copies numbered 1 to 27 of Heads, Figures and Ideas were bound in full morocco and issued with an original watercolour drawing. Cramer 41. Davis 02271 2 works, folio. Heads: auto-lithograph frontispiece in 4 colours on handmade wove paper with Henry Moore watermark, titled Thirteen Standing Figures, illustrated throughout in colour. Form: 14 colour illustrations, 3 of which do not appear in the finished vol.
