De la Moore la Hirst: 60 de ani de sculpturã Britanicã/From Moore to Hirst: 60 years of British sculpture
Skip to main content
The introduction by Tim Marlow, 'The roots of contemporary British sculpture', dicusses Henry Moore and Barbara Hepworth as the parents and patrons of the British sculptors who followed. The themes mentioned include the relationship of Moore's Human figures to the landscape, his monumental female figures or 'mother earth' figures, and the Reclining Figure: Arch Leg, 1969-70 bronze (LH 610).
Adrian Guta's essay, 'British sculpture from Moore to Hirst - a Romanian('s) perspective', describes the impact of the Moore exhibition at the Dalles Halles in Bucharest in 1966 and the National Museum of Art of Romania's purchase of Working Model for Locking Piece, 1962 bronze (LH 514). Guta links Moore to the Romanian sculptor Brancusi, and discusses the influence of his reclining figures and their place in the history of modernism and the evolution of the human body in art.
