The Art of Henry Moore
The Art of Henry Moore
"All art should have a certain mystery and should make demands on the spectator. Giving a sculpture or a drawing too explicit a title takes away part of that mystery so that the spectator moves on to the next object, making no effort to ponder the meaning of what he has just seen. Everyone thinks that he or she looks but they don't really, you know." Henry Moore- published: 04 Jul 2014

Henry Spencer Moore 1898- 1986 Henry Moore was an English sculptor best known for his 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. His forms are generally pierced or contain hollow spaces. His ability in later life to fulfil large scale commissions made him exceptionally wealthy. Yet he lived frugally and most of the money he earned went towards endowing the Henry Moore Foundation, which continues to support education and promotion of the arts. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Henry_Moore link to the Henry Moore Foundation http://www.henry-moore-fdn.co.uk/ link to BBC article with archive film of Henry Moore at work http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/entertainment/arts_and_culture/8529691.stm link to 3D model (tate collections) recumbent figure 1938 (you need to install shockwave) http://www.tate.org.uk/collections/moore/moore3d.htm link to international sculpture center http://www.sculpture.org/documents/scmag01/julaug01/moore/moore.shtml Henry Moore at Artcyclopedia http://www.artcyclopedia.com/artists/moore_henry.html- published: 04 Jul 2014

Murray McLauchlan : Down By The Henry Moore
"Down By The Henry Moore" is from Murray McLauchlan's 1974 album, "Sweeping The Spotlight Away" and is included on the double-cd 'best of' compilation, "Songs From The Street". The "Henry Moore" is a sculpture in front of Toronto's city hall, where students met in the '60s and early 1970s. "I wrote that song as a sort of travelogue to make people feel good about Toronto," McLauchlan once said. "At the time it seemed as though a lot of my friends were complaining that there was nothing happening in the city. I believe you can always find something to do if you look for it. So I decided to write a strutting-around Toronto song to say it's up to you; you can either enjoy yourself or dump on everything." McLauchlan has won ten Juno Awards. In 1993, he was made a Member of the Order of Canada. In 1998, Pengiun (Viking Books) released his autobiography, "The Ballad of Murray McLauchlan: Getting Out of Here Alive."- published: 04 Jul 2014

Henry Moore English Sculptor and Artist
Henry Spencer Moore OM CH FBA RBS (30 July 1898 -- 31 August 1986) was an English sculptor and artist. 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. His forms are generally pierced or contain hollow spaces. Many interpreters liken the undulating form of his reclining figures to the landscape and hills of his birthplace, Yorkshire. Moore was born in Castleford, the son of a coal miner. He became well-known through his carved marble and larger-scale abstract cast bronze sculptures, and was instrumental in introducing a particular form of modernism to the United Kingdom. His ability in later life to fulfill large-scale commissions made him exceptionally wealthy. Yet he lived frugally and most of the money he earned went towards endowing the Henry Moore Foundation, which continues to support education and promotion of the arts http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Henry_Moore also see The Henry Moore Foundation http://www.henry-moore.org/ and http://www.henrymoore.com/art.shtml Moore was born in Castleford, West Yorkshire, England, to Mary Baker and Raymond Spencer Moore. His father was of Irish origin and became pit deputy and then under-manager of the Wheldale colliery in Castleford. He was an autodidact with an interest in music and literature. Determined that his sons would not work in the mines, he saw formal education as the route to their advancement.[2] Henry was the seventh of eight children in a family that often struggled with poverty. He attended infant and elementary schools in Castleford, where he began modelling in clay and carving in wood. He professed to have decided to become a sculptor when he was eleven after hearing of Michelangelo's achievements at a Sunday School reading. On his second attempt he was accepted at Castleford Grammar School(Castleford Secondary School), where his headmaster soon noticed his talent and interest in medieval sculpture,[3] and which several of his siblings had attended. His art teacher broadened his knowledge of art, and, with her encouragement, he determined to make art his career; first by sitting for examinations for a scholarship to the local art college. Despite his early promise, Moore's parents had been against him training as a sculptor, a vocation they considered manual labour with few career prospects. After a brief introduction as a student teacher, Moore became a teacher at the school he had attended. Upon turning eighteen, Moore volunteered for army service. He was the youngest man in the Prince of Wales's Own Civil Service Rifles regiment, and was injured in 1917 in a gas attack during the Battle of Cambrai.[4] After recovering in hospital, he saw out the remainder of the war as a physical training instructor, only returning to France as the Armistice was signed. In stark contrast to many of his contemporaries, Moore's wartime experience was largely untroubled. He recalled later, "for me the war passed in a romantic haze of trying to be a hero.
