The English artist Henry Moore (1898-1986) is without doubt one of the most important and best-known sculptors of the twentieth century.
Museum Beelden aan Zee is organizing a major overview of his work, to which this book will be published. Moore’s sources of inspiration and the way in which he was guided by the nature of the materials he used are central. The book not only shows masterpieces from his oeuvre, but also objects collected by Moore in nature and studies in clay and plaster. These formed the impetus for his famous monumental sculptures in wood, stone or bronze. This publication therefore offers an interesting insight into his working method and development.
On the basis of approximately 100 objects and sculptures, directly from his studios, it is made clear how one of the most important innovators of sculpture designed his modernist sculptures.
