Henry Moore, born July 30, 1898, is considered to be one of the most prominent British sculptors of the 20th
century.(Keep in mind this fact was both before and after his passing.) One look at the Henry Moore Foundation's
(Which was established in 1976 and is now maintained by his family members.)collection and displays of his works
will have spectators, collectors and admirers of his style convinced of this claim. His favorite subjects were, but
not limited to, the human figure and abstract designs carved primarily from wood or stone. Later, in the 1950s, he
began experimenting and working with marble and bronze. His collection of preparatory sketches seemed to have always
pointed to an abstract way of creating art, according to many critics studying his methods. |
