"Comment on England (1935) is an essay by Geoffrey Grigson first published in the first issue of Axis[1]. The essay features an early use of the term biomorphism.
- "with their enlarged knowledge of the widened country of self. Certain artists have realised this in their practice ; abroad Picasso, Brancusi, Klee, Miro , Hélion ; in England Wyndham Lewis and Henry Moore. Abstractions are of two kinds, geometric, the abstractions which lead to the inevitable death ; and biomorphic.
- "Product of the multiform inventive artist, abstraction-surrealism nearly in control; of a constructor of images between the conscious and the unconscious and between what we perceive and what we project emotionally into the objects of our world; of the one English sculptor of large, imaginative power, of which he is almost master; the biomorphist producing viable work, with all the technique he requires."
