Henry Moore

Henry Moore (1898-1986), also known as the "Picasso of sculpture," is considered one of the most important sculptors of the 20th century and the epitome of the modern artist. A characteristic feature of his work is the interplay between nature and abstraction. The "voids" he discovered—openings and holes—enhance the plastic, three-dimensional effect of his sculptures. With this new approach, Moore had a strong influence on younger sculptors, providing them with crucial inspiration. This volume presents Moore as a dominant figure in modern sculpture alongside the younger generation of artists.
