Original print reproducing several sketches of sculptures with Moore's typical shapes. Standing out for the high definition of shapes, our contemporary artwork.
Henry Moore (1898-1986) focused on the hole, or void, as an important element in sculptural design. His well-known reclining female nudes combine the organic jargon central to Moore’s philosophy: bone shapes, eroded rocks, and geologic formations to communicate the human form’s fluidity, dynamism, and evocative nature. The reclining figures were originally inspired by a photograph Moore acquired of a Chac Mool from pre-Colombian Mexico. They are distinctive of Moore’s work in exploiting the natural beauty of different materials: he asserted that every material has its own individual qualities and these qualities could play a role in the creative process.
The abstracted shapes suggest Surrealist biomorphic forms, but Moore’s leaning women are also powerful earth mothers whose sinuous forms and hollows suggest nurturing human energy. Furthermore, the female body shapes evoke the contours of the Yorkshire hills of Moore’s childhood and the wind-polished surfaces of weathered wood and stone. Moore enhanced the references to landscape and to Surrealist organic forms by alternating mass and void, based on the enthralling qualities of cavities in nature. The hole was not an abstract shape. It represented the mysterious fascination of caves in hillsides and cliffs.
Henry Moore’s sculptures, although abstracted, always remain recognizable. Moore alleged that the simple and massive shapes of his statues expressed a universal truth beyond the physical world. As he said, “My sculpture is becoming less representational, less an outward visual copy […] but only because I believe that in this way I can present the human psychological content of my work with greatest directness and intensity.”

- "Neptune Washington", Fisherman Polling His River Boat in the Rain by Ron AdamsLocated in Alamo, CA"Neptune Washington" is a large contemporary lithograph by Ron Adams (1934- ), created in 1996. It depicts a muscular African-American fisherman polling his fishing boat in a river in the rain. Adams distinctive rendering of Neptune conveys his great strength, as well as the grace, fluidity and balance of his body. He is barefoot and shirtless, dressed in striped overalls with his right shoulder strap undone. A bucket of fish sits next to his left foot, while fishing line, an open tin can and a frog are seen on a wet bench in front of Neptune. A long-necked white bird (crane) sits on a log floating by in the river near the opposite shore. Ominous storm clouds are present in the background over trees, brush and rocks along the opposite river bank. The lithograph is printed on handmade deckle-edged paper and presented with a museum style floating mount in a black wood frame with a thick cream mat and glazed with UV protected plexiglass. It is signed in pencil in the right lower corner along with the date, '96. The title "Neptune Washington" is inscribed in pencil in the lower margin in the center and initials HGI are in the lower left. The initials HGI may stand for Hand Graphics Institute, which Adams founded in New Mexico. The initials rather than the usual edition number (which consisted of 70), possibly signify an artist proof or possibly a Hors-Commerce (before trade) printing. The print is in excellent condition. The frame measures 38" x 30.25" x 1.25". Ron Adams is a prominent African-American master printmaker. His detailed depictions of African-American musicians, craftsmen, folk heroes and everyday people have made him one of the top figurative artists and printmakers in the country. He has worked with and taught many other well-known artists, including Frank Stella, Charles White, John Biggers, Robert Rauschenberg and Jasper Jones...Category
