Henry Moore
Henry Spencer Moore (July 30, 1898 - August 31, 1986), a British sculptor, was one of the world's most famous sculptors in the 20th century.
Henry Moore is best known for his large cast bronze and marble sculptures.
Artistic Achievements:
Moore was a pioneer, and the first British artist to become a global star in his own lifetime. His work came to symbolise post-war modernism and can be said to have caused a British sculptural renaissance.
a."Reclining Figure" (1951), exhibited at the Fitzwilliam Museum in Cambridge, represents a highly simplified, abstract female figure and is a typical representative of Moore's sculpture style.
b. Henry Moore's representative works include "Reclining Figure", "Family Group", "King and Queen" and so on.
c. To commemorate the establishment of the first human nuclear reactor "Chicago Pile-1", Henry Moore specially designed and produced the monument "Nuclear Energy" from 1963 to 1967, which is now erected in Chicago, USA On the university campus.
Statue(I)
"Slanted Statue" Roman marble statue
The composition of the work is simple, the theme is clear, and the almost abstract form is concise and clear. The statue more than two meters long clearly shows the general proportional relationship of the human body, and the two large holes cut out of the body seem to be the structural space of the human skeleton part. The whole statue is like a noble woman, leaning in a slanting position, with her head slightly raised, and her breasts are towering, slightly like the ancient Mexican rain god.
The eye-catching "hole" in the work is Moore's unique artistic creation technique. These "holes" are consciously arranged by him. On the one hand, they expand the inner tension of the sculpture, so that the audience can truly feel the natural composition of the human body; on the other hand, they emphasize the connection between different parts of the sculpture, indicating the relationship between the statue and the space, and increasing the sense of space of three degrees, so that the audience When watching, you can feel the different changes in the shape and background of the statue, thus creating a beautiful artistic conception.
Under Moore's men, an empty hole often has the same shape significance as the entity, reaching the realm of "virtual reality". Moore also developed a strong interest in the theme of "slanting statue" and turned this model into his future creative theme, which derived various forms of "slanting statue" and gave them different artistic styles.

Arts
Drawings
Drawing was central to Moore’s artistic life and he drew prolifically from his school days up to the end of his life. There are around 8,900 drawings by Moore recorded by the Foundation, many made from life, from sculptures, and from nature and natural forms.
Tapestries
Moore’s interest in working across media and in different scales saw a number of his drawings adapted into large tapestries.
These included tapestries produced in Scotland by Dovecot Studios in 1950, and by Brose Patrick Studio between 1971 and 1974. A further 23 tapestries were woven between 1976 and 1986 at West Dean College in Sussex.
Graphics
During his career, Moore made many prints, etchings, lithographs and collographs, often starting with one of his own drawings. He was also asked to produce designs for deluxe books and portfolios.
Textiles
From 1942 Moore made numerous designs for textiles, some of which went into production to become scarves, wall hangings and furnishing fabrics.

Sculpture Gardens
With over 70 acres of gardens and rolling fields, see Moore's world-famous, monumental sculptures as he intended, against the landscape he shaped.
Visit the gardens where Moore created his world-famous sculptures. Share in the artist’s experience of viewing his work in the landscape ‘in changing light and weather’ and ‘so that near to, and far away it reads as three dimensional form.’Each year, around twenty of Moore’s sculptures are displayed in the gardens. Many more can be found inside the studios. Many of these are the artist’s own casts, which he entrusted to the Foundation’s care.
Open Wednesday to Sunday & Bank Holidays, 17:00-17:00
Henry Moore Studios
Preserved as Moore would have used them in his lifetime, six studios reveal the artist's processes of drawing, etching, carving and model making.
Experience Moore’s network of studios located throughout the gardens – spaces which facilitated a lifetime of creativity. Different studios were used for different activities, from creating small models and enlarging plasters to carving, drawing and printmaking.
The studios provide a glimpse into Moore’s world and bring us as close as possible to his working methods and practices.
