Original Toronto Star caption: The clamshell dome of City Hall's Council Chamber forms an effective backdrop for Henry Moore's The Archer; seen from the 14th floor of a nearby bulding. The Star's art critic Robert Fulford; says even at best photographs give only a vague idea of its quality. In his view; it is a most impressive object made by a master of public monuments. Like all good sculptrue; Fulford says; it must be seen in the round to be appreciated. As he saw the statue last night; he found it stunningly golden and warm with remarkable variety-sensuous curves; great bony shapes and an easy; graceful swing. The unveiling; says Fulford; may well be remembered as the moment when art and Toronto learned to live with each other.
