'Family' by Henry Moore - 1935


Henry Moore's work has become in the course of the years increasingly abstract, but that was, as he himself said, "just because I believe that in this way I can represent the human psychological content of my work as directly and as intensely as possible." - source Taschen publication 2007 with Jeremy Lewison

Henry Moore

This semi-abstract sculpture in Elmwood made by Henry Moore, depicts a mother with child on her back (H 101,6 cm). Location: The Hennry Moore Foundation, Perry Green.

Moore wrote: 'There are universal shapes to which everybody is subconsciously conditioned and to which they can respond if their conscious control does not shut them off."
