2019 Norfolk, Houghton Hall, Henry Moore at Houghton Hall: Nature and Inspiration
01 May 2019 - 29 September 2019
The Henry Moore Foundation are working in partnership with Houghton Hall in North Norfolk to stage this spectacular exhibition set in the historic house and grounds. Nature is at the heart of Henry Moore’s art. His distinctive sculptural style relied on the reinterpretation of organic forms and the selection of works on show include monumental sculptures set within the dramatic landscape of Norfolk alongside smaller works inspired by natural objects on display in the house. The exhibition gallery showcases Moore's famous Elephant Skull etchings.

Exhibition Info: In 2024, a selection of over twenty of Moore’s bronzes will be displayed in the landscape adjacent to the studios where he developed his ideas. Natural and human forms can be seen to have inspired sculptures across all of Moore’s most iconic themes: the mother and child, the reclining figure, and the juxtaposition of internal / external forms. A number of Moore’s multi-part reclining figures, where he asks the viewer to imaginatively piece together the body, are joined by some of his purest organic abstractions in which we can trace the journey from handheld pebble to monumental work.
