Why did Henry Moore draw sheep?
1 Answer
Henry Moore drew sheep for a few reasons. The British artist thought sheep were peaceful and found watching them graze to be relaxing. He also liked how they stood out against the landscape due to their coloring, likening it to the way a statue draws the eye away from the rest of its surroundings.
