'Ego Ahaiwe Sowinski’s handsomely illustrated biography is the most concerted treatment of the artist yet ... reveals a significant figure and a proselytiser for Caribbean art'
New Statesman
'The core of the book is Sowinski’s research, but it also includes an impressive range of other voices. That range of voices gives a rich and rounded picture of Moody, something that would not have been possible without Sowinski’s generosity in writing and research….. What is astonishing, is that it has taken until now for Moody to be brought to wider attention, something this retrospective and the accompanying book more than make up for'
Art Studio International
'Impressive … generously illustrated and published by leading art book publisher Thames & Hudson … Highly recommended, featuring as it does contributions by those who knew him, including Paul Dash, David A. Bailey, Cynthia Moody and Val Wilmer, with a detailed biographical account by Ego Ahaiwe Sowinski and supported by over 100 photographs of sculpture and related archival material'
Errol Lloyd, George Padmore Institute
'It is through this investment in deep research, reassessment and rewriting that Moody has now become firmly crystallized as one of the most important Modernists working in Britain to date'
