Henry Moore

Born 1898 – Died 1986

Moore was born in Castleford, Yorkshire. In the early 1920s he was influenced by Gaudier-Brzeska and primitive art. During the following decade he was a member of the Seven & Five Society and Unit One, and helped found the British Surrealist movement in 1936. He was an official war artist during the Second World War. A sculptor of major international reputation, he gained many public commissions. His works, whether carved or modelled, show an intimate awareness of natural forms.
