Notes:
Early in his career, Moore worked primarily in stone and often conceived his ideas two-dimensionally via preparatory drawings. By the early 1950s, Moore shifted away from using drawings as sculptural studies and began to cast initial iterations of his artistic vision in the form of clay and bronze maquettes. In 1968, Moore noted: "I prefer to work out my ideas in the form of small maquettes which I can hold in my hand and look at from every point of view" (quoted in A. Wilkinson, Henry Moore: Writings and Conversations, Aldershot, 2002, p. 239).
Through the texture of the metal and their importance in Moore's method, maquettes including the present work embody the artist's creative process. In Moore's own words, looking at his sculptures is "like going on a journey, each time you return you see something different, something new. Sculpture doesn’t have just a front view and a back view - there are countless in-between views which are just as important and just as impressive" (H. Moore & J. Hedgecoe, Henry Moore, My Ideas, Inspiration and Life as an Artist, San Francisco, 1986, p. 79).

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.
