Of the seventeen sculptural interpretations of the theme, fifteen are small maquettes varying in size from five to eight inches and two are of a larger scale. These works reflect both the artist's wish for peace and harmony in the post-war world and his expression of happiness following the birth of his first child, Mary. Curator Gail Gelburd further expounds on the impact of the experience on Moore's work: "The addition of a male figure to his work constituted a radical change in his work. As Moore once noted, "women must outnumber men by at least fifty to one. Men get brought in when they are essential to the subject, for example in a family group." Although the family groups still strive to avoid symmetry, the addition of a male figure (the artist now as father) in the work, as well as sometimes another child, complicated the formal problems. The various maquettes and working models show the sculptor trying different devices for unifying the figure" (Mother and Child: the Art of Henry Moore, Exhibition Catalogue, Hofstra Museum, Hofstra University, New York, 1987-88, p. 30).
