	Henry Moore
		Henry Moore was the most celebrated sculptor of his time, and the second part of his career, in particular, demonstrated that Modernist sculpture was, after all, surprisingly adaptable to official needs.
		Moore was born in July 1898 in Castleford, Yorkshire, the seventh child of a mine manager who had worked at the pit face.
		Moore's ever expanding studios and gardens came to resemble a factory as the work came to be organized along quasiindustrial lines, with maquettes and models of gradually increasing size being made until the final full scale result was achieved.

		According to the Henry Moore Foundation in this major drawing 'an interest in the internal spaces of the figure, that is such a key element of Festival Figure is clearly evident, and of course the figures in the drawing do have similarities with the Festival Figure of 1951 and associated maquettes from 1950.

		Commenting on his reclining figures, torsos, and mother-and-child figures, Moore said, “I am most deeply interested in the human figure, but I have discovered laws of form and rhythm in studying natural forms such as pebbles, rocks, bones, trees, and plants.” Material, in Moore's art, is intimately related to form.
		Moore's 1929 “Reclining Figure” was his first widely acknowledged work; it was inspired by the Toltec sculpture of Chac-Mool, an example of the pre-Columbian art Moore admired.
		Throughout Moore's early period his sculpture emphasized the solid block: immobile figures rest heavily upon their arms and legs, never breaking the rectilinear geometry of the body.

	Henry Moore: Sculpting the 20th Century
		For the current retrospective exhibition of the works of Henry Moore (the first in the U.S. since the 1983 Metropolitan Museum of Art show), The Thinker has been given something new to deliberate, as he is surrounded--nearly dwarfed--by a half dozen grandly scaled Moore pieces displaying massively confident virtuosity and inventive variety.
		Today's public, accustomed to abstracted forms, will be reminded that Moore's work, now considered accessible, was once seen as radical and was a key influence in introducing the language of modernism to sculpture.
		Moore's sculpture is ubiquitous--seen in commissioned, publicly-placed works displayed in cities worldwide and in museum collections everywhere.

	Henry Moore
		And through the long stretch after the war, when Moore commanded one major public commission after another, his version of the reclining figure became a virtual icon of public sculpture.
		Of far greater interest to Moore than nuance of musculature is the way in which light casts shadow on each volume in order to define it.
		This does not bespeak of a visual identification of the human form with nature, but of a deeply rooted relationship with it that is echoed by his use of simplified, undulating masses.
