More InformationInterview between Sebastiano Barassi, Head of Collections at the Henry Moore Foundation, and art writer Roger Malbert, about Henry Moore and drawing, coinciding with the Henry Moore Foundation's exhibition Henry Moore: The Art of Seeing. Barassi talks about the curation of the exhibition, Moore's use of drawing as part of his artistic practice, and the themes in Moore's drawings - especially the reclining figure, mother and child, and internal/external form. There is a brief discussion of the Shelter Drawings. Three drawings are illustrated: Montage of Reclining Figures (1928), Tube Shelter Perspective (1941) and Six Studies for Family Group (1948); there is also a biographical image of Moore working on Abstraction (1961).
