Henry Moore

The foremost sculptor of the middle 20th century

Henry Moore (1898-1986) saw himself as a sort of reincarnation of Michelangelo, mining his marbles from the same quarries and letting the stone itself dictate the final, flowing, abstract, surrealistic figures carved from it.

The Henry Moore Institute in Leeds, where he studied, preserves drawings and sculpture, as do the following:

• Tate Modern, London
• Walker Art Gallery, Liverpool
• Museum and Art Gallery, Birmingham
• Fitzwilliam Museum, Cambridge
• Clare College, Cambridge
