Why did Henry Moore draw hands?
1 Answer
Henry Moore drew hands to symbolize the passage of time. His series of drawings depicting his own hands in old age and other elderly people's hands were meant to represent the effects of work and living on the human body. Much of Moore's work reflected on the human form, including his large bronze sculptures. Explore a diverse assortment of Henry Moore art on 1stDibs.
