Overview

Excerpt from George Moore That portrait which is like nothing so much as the human symbol of a high-explosive shell. George Moore's is a face dear to the caricaturist and in itself at times a carica ture: the yellow hair, the fat features, the sly smile, the malice, the vanity. But as has been said to me, let someone begin to discuss an idea and in a moment the con tours change, the fat shapelessness falls away, the jaw lengthens, the bones become visible, the eyes darken, the brows straighten, a hawk-like keenness is in the look. One does not caricature this Moore; it is the face of the thinker, the man who handles ideas like a master. There is a duality in Moore that at once repels and fascinates and makes a study of him a delightful adventure in characterisation.
