Artifacts Presentation and Workshop on Henry Moore

Draped Reclining Mother and Baby, 1983

Henry Moore was the most important British sculptor of the 20th century, and the most internationally popular sculptor of the post World War II period. His main themes were of the mother and child, and the reclining figure.  He created abstractions of the human body.  Henry Moore once said that “sculpture is an art of the open air.” Moore wanted his art to be enjoyed outdoors, in basic settings that would bring out its relationship with the natural elements of the earth.
