Henry Moore’s prints are a vital aspect of his artistic legacy, showcasing the same themes and forms that defined his sculptures. Through etchings, lithographs, and woodcuts, Moore explored the human figure, abstract shapes, and the interplay of line and texture. His prints often depict reclining figures, mother-and-child motifs, and organic forms, rendered with a sense of movement and depth. Moore’s printmaking allowed him to experiment with scale and detail, translating his sculptural ideas into two-dimensional works. These prints are celebrated for their sensitivity and mastery, offering an intimate glimpse into Moore’s creative process and his enduring fascination with form and humanity.

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.
