My Life by Anton Lesseman (No. 68)

Description

Paul Becker (Henry Moore Institute research fellow, 2011-12) tells the story of the sculptor Anton Lessemann, an unknown - and fictional - contemporary of Henry Moore.

Featuring extracts from Lesseman's autobiography, an interview between Paul Becker and Jon Wood (Research Curator at the Henry Moore Institute), and illustrated by sketches, paintings, letters and sculptures, this publication is an exploration of the imaginary artist and the role of fiction in art making.
