Henry Moore was born in 1898 in Yorkshire, England, into a miner's family with many children. Entering the local grammar school at the age of ten, he graduated from the Royal Academy of Fine Arts in 1925. He has a strong interest in the sculptures of ancient Egypt, Mexico and Africa. During World War II, he accompanied the British army on an expedition to Egypt and the Middle East, and drew a large number of battlefield sketches. At the same time, he had a deeper experience in the sculptures of Egypt and Mesopotamia. with contact. The young Henry Moore admired the styles of modern sculptors such as Branchsi and Picasso. He tried his best to pursue the constructivist expression method, and for a time he was also interested in the subconscious expression of Surrealism. Influenced by Picasso's drawing and oil painting style in the late 1920s, he used natural objects to create abstract sculptures. He collected large and small rocks, carapace and bones to explore the principles of natural form and rhythm and applied them in his creations. The artist's influence and contribution Henry Moore created a series of works full of humanistic emotions after the 1940s, such as "Mother and Child" (Mother and Child), "King and Queen" (King and Queen), etc. Since then, he has Focusing on the development of outdoor sculpture creation. He believes that sculptures should not be limited to fixed light exposure. Under natural light of different strengths and angles, sculptures will have more visual effects and bring more to people. Different feelings. He believes that sculptures should not only be viewed by people, but also allow people to touch them directly. He favors touching them with their hands, stepping on them, and squeezing them with their bodies, so that viewers can feel the overall beauty of the sculptures. Henry Moore is famous for his work. In his later years, he received honorary degrees from Oxford, Cambridge and Harvard University and the highest British Order of Merit. He died in 1986 at the age of 88. This statue of Moore is now in the Tate Gallery, London. Henry (Family Groupo) The two hands of the parents are intertwined, protecting the child. The three of them sit together on a simple bench. The surface of the sculpture is smooth, and many details seem to have been washed away by time. Moore deliberately dressed the statue in a cloth, reminiscent of Greece and Rome, to give the work a sense of timelessness. The family is the basic unit of society and has been the subject of many paintings and sculptures since the Middle Ages. All of the works feature female subjects - some seated and some reclining. "Family" gave him his first opportunity to depict men. This work, shown in the Moorish Garden, was completed in the 1930s. After the war ravaged Britain, Moore stepped away from extreme experiments in abstraction and rediscovered the artistic perspective of humanity. In 1938, Moore won numerous awards and created the Recumbent Figure shown in the picture. Similar patterns gradually became his lifelong creative direction, which led to more "Reclining Figures" with different styles and expressions. The "Reclining Figure" seen in the picture is made of a loose stone with many surfaces. It is made of marble with pores. Its semi-abstract shape is extremely simple. The stone statue is more than two meters long and has two holes carved into it. The formation of the holes is based on the structure of the human body. On the one hand, the holes help to expand. The inner tension of the statue allows the viewer to feel the natural composition of the human body. On the other hand, it also shows the relationship between the statue and the space. Henry Moore uses this semi-abstract sculpture to depict a woman reclining. The curves of the human body are connected with the natural mountains to form a shape that echoes each other. The smooth outline seems to be shaped by nature rather than by human hands. Therefore, when the "Reclining Figure" is placed on the green grass, its materials and shapes are very different. It is extremely harmonious with the surrounding environment, making people feel that the statue has the perfect connection between man and nature. Later, the "Reclining Statue" also appeared one after another with large and small holes. These holes made Henry Moore's statue between virtual and real. The contrast between space and form creates visual beauty and metaphor. These hollows are called "Moore's Holes" to express the new space created by Henry Moore in art. Creations such as "Reclining Figure" continued until the late 1950s. They come in various sizes. In addition to being made of stone, there are also sculptures made of elm wood.
