Henry Moore
(Castleford, July 30, 1898 – Much Hadham, August 31, 1986)
Henry Moore was born in Yorkshire in 1898 to a humble family but nonetheless he was able to receive an education; first, at the Leeds Art School and later at the Royal College of Art in London.
He takes part in the First World War.
In 1925, he makes several trips in Europe thanks to a scholarship. Once he returned to his homeland, with the cultural impulses acquired abroad- observations and study of the artistic experiences from the Renaissance to Cubism-he begins his personal sculptural experience.
In 1928, he holds his first solo exhibition at the Warren-Gallery in London.
At first, his sculptures were characterized by an archaic style but, subsequently, after adhering to the surrealist movement, his work assumes an element of irrationality as well as the use of compositive techniques that testify his contact with the abstractionist environments. In fact, he collaborates with the “Circle” manifesto along with abstractionists Naum Gabo and Ben Nicholson.
In 1945, he receives a degree honoris causa in Literature from the University of Leeds. The following year, the Metropolitan in New York hosts a large retrospective show of the artist.
In 1948, he wins the International Sculpture Prize at the XXIV Venice Biennial.
In the following years, he receives a degree honoris causa in Literature from the University of London, a degree in Fine Arts from Harvard and subsequently, a degree in Law from Cambridge University.
At the II Biennial in Sao Paulo Brazil, he wins the International Sculpture Prize.
In forty years, Moore produces approximately 200 prints, but already after 1973, he exceeds this number as well.

Henry Moore
Henry Spencer Moore OM CH FBA 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. As well as sculpture, Moore produced many drawings, including a series depicting Londoners sheltering from the Blitz during the Second World War, along with other prints and 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 toward endowing the Henry Moore Foundation, which continues to support education and promotion of the arts.
