Sculpture in stone should look honestly like stone…to make it look like flesh and blood, hair and dimples is coming down to the level of the stage conjuror.
Henry Moore Quotes
It is a mistake for a sculptor or a painter to speak or write very often about his job. It releases tension needed for his work.

About
Henry Spencer Moore was born in Castleford, Yorkshire, England. He was an English sculptor. He was best known for his semi-abstract monumental bronze sculptures which are located around the world as public works of art. His forms are usually abstractions of the human figure, typically depicting mother-and-child or reclining figures. Moore's works are usually suggestive of the female body, apart from a phase in the 1950s when he sculpted family groups. Moore's first solo sculpture exhibition was held at Warren Gallery in London in 1928.
