Moore Paperback

The sensual, voluptuous shapes in the work of British sculptor Henry Moore (1989-1986) are the sign of his unmistakable signature style.

Often depicting human or human-like forms - especially female - Moore's sculptures, with their abstract style, brought a distinctive brand of Modernism to fine art.

His cast bronze and carved marble sculptures grace the gardens and galleries of the world's finest museums and have earned him a devoted following.

Particularly beloved are his many mother-and-child compositions.
