Henry Spencer Moore OM CH FBA (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.

It creeps up in the night to give you butterflies
I'm happy spending time with you it's the thing to do I love it but I'm sure
I'd love a Henry Moore
I know a work of art when I meet one face to face
The trouble at the start is when you're feeling out of place
I'd like to get a room with a view and a comfy deep pile carpet on the floor
On which to place my Henry Moore
He's an acquired taste
But nothing goes to waste
The trouble is there's not a lot around
And in this situation
What with some high inflation
His value stands up well against the pound
He perfectly describes the generation gap
He used to draw the crowds sleeping underneath the map
I could fall asleep like a sheep with my head between your pillows by the door
Gazing at my Henry Moore
He's an acquired taste
But nothing goes to waste
The trouble is there's not a lot around
And in this situation
What with some high inflation
His value stands up well against the pound
I can guarantee the pleasure you will find
So have a spending spree it will help you to unwind
You can't go too far wrong with the oblong three dimensional adventure take a tour
