Studies for Sculpture on Blue Grey Background - Signed Lithograph, #30/60
Lithograph of six studies for a sculpture by Henry Moore (British, 1898-1986). These six drawings depict a mother holding her child while sitting on a bench. These were likely preliminary drawings for the various "Maquette for Madonna and Child" sculptures that Moore completed in the 1940s. The sculptures are on display at Tate Britain as a part of the "Modern and Contemporary British Art" exhibition.
Signed "Moore" in the lower right corner.
Numbered "30/60" in the lower left corner.
Publisher: Berggruen and Company
Printer: Mourlot Freres, Paris
Presented in a silver colored frame with an off-white mat.

Image size: 18"H x 14.5"W
Henry Spencer Moore (30 July 1898 – 31 August 1986) was an English artist. He is best known for his semi-abstract monumental bronze sculptures which are located around the world as public works of art. Moore also produced many drawings, including a series depicting Londoners sheltering from the Blitz during the Second World War, along with other graphic works on paper.
His forms are usually abstractions of the human figure, typically depicting mother-and-child or reclining figures. Moore's works are usually suggestive of the female body, apart from a phase in the 1950s when he sculpted family groups. His forms are generally pierced or contain hollow spaces. Many interpreters liken the undulating form of his reclining figures to the landscape and hills of his Yorkshire birthplace.
Moore became well known through his carved marble and larger-scale abstract cast bronze sculptures, and was instrumental in introducing a particular form of modernism to the United Kingdom. His ability in later life to fulfil large-scale commissions made him exceptionally wealthy. Despite this, he lived frugally; most of the money he earned went towards endowing the Henry Moore Foundation, which continues to support education and promotion of the arts.
