｢Working Model for Two Piece Figure Cut｣
Henry Moore (1898-1986)
Henry Moore, the British great master, is one of the representative sculptors in 20th century. Regardless whether his style is abstract or concrete, it is certain that he persistently pursued concrete subjects such as reclining figure. This piece is one of the series of human statues. The simplified composition of convex and concave plays noble harmony.
