Henry Moore (Sculpture)

best known for his semi-abstract monumental bronze sculptures which are located around the world as public works of art.

His forms are usually abstractions of the human figure, typically depicting mother-and-child or reclining figures. Moore's works are usually suggestive of the female body, apart from a phase in the 1950s when he sculpted family groups. His forms are generally pierced or contain hollow spaces.

Here I have selected a few of his most well knows pieces:


When doing my sculpture work I will consider the body shapes and the way he portrays the female body.
