Three Piece Reclining Figure: Bridge Prop’s undulating diagonals offer a sense of coherence. Whilst the pieces’ relationship might call to mind interlocking bones, or sheets of rock stacked underground, several of Moore’s contemporaries commented on the man-made character of the work’s ultra-refinement. Moore likened the view looking up at the figure to the sight of London’s Waterloo Bridge from a passing taxi. Bridge Prop also brings out Moore’s wish through his sculpture to appeal to the range of our senses beyond vision. Compare the form’s flowing, calligraphic character, to the abrupt interruption in the form of Two-Piece Reclining Figure: Cut sited a short walk away.
