Henry Moore (1898-1986) was one of the twentieth century's
great sculptors. First emerging from the relative obscurity of the radical
modernist movement in England
in the 1920s, Moore quickly established himself
as one of Britain's
leading young artists. In 1946 his sculpture was presented in a one-man
exhibition at the Museum of Modern Art in New
York. Two years later, he won the prestigious
International Prize at the Venice Biennale. After 1950, with the sponsorship of
the British Council (an organization promoting British cultural values), Moore executed
large-scale public projects throughout the Western world. At the time of his
death, Moore
was a formidable cultural presence whose work had become synonymous with modern
sculpture.
At once an homage and a voyage of rediscovery, the show
traces the crucial stages of the artist's development: from his groundbreaking
work following World War I and his experimentation with abstraction and
surrealism in the 1930s, to his patriotic engagement as an official war artist
during World War II, his postwar humanism, and his interest in large-scale
public sculpture during the last four decades of his life. Presenting both
sculpture and drawings, the exhibition examines the development of Moore's formal and
thematic repertoire, his enduring preoccupation with the reclining figure, and
his radical exploration of sculptural form.
