Part of the documentary series profiling great works of art and
artists. This volume looks at the groundbreaking work of sculptor
Henry Moore, who died after a productive career in 1986 and whose
work is featured in prominant sites across Europe and the United
States. Includes examples of his work from across his career, as
well as extracts from Moore's interviews and letters.
In February 1972 Henry Moore's sculpture studios in the English
countryside at Much Hadham were filled with the preparations for
his retrospective exhibition at Florence. In search of peace and
quiet, he went into a smaller room overlooking the fields where a
local farmer grazed his sheep. The sheep came very close to the
window, attracting his attention, and he began to draw them.
Initially he saw them as nothing more than four-legged balls of
wool, but his vision changed as he explored what they were really
like - the way they moved, the shape of their bodies under the
fleece. They also developed strong human and biblical associations,
and the sight of a ewe with her lamb evoked the mother-and-child
theme - a large form sheltering a small one - which has been
important to Henry Moore in all his work. He drew the sheep again
that summer after they were shorn, when he could see the shapes of
the bodies which had been covered by wool. Solid in form, sudden
and vigorous in movement, Henry Moore's sheep are created through a
network of swirling and zigzagging lines in the rapid and (in
Moore's hands) sensitive medium of ballpoint pen. The effect is
both familiar and monumental; as Lor
