Henry Moore has always been one of my favourite artists so I was excited to learn that an exhibition of his work was coming to Tate Henry Moore is of course best known for his sculptures, but he was also Official War Artist during World War two and as such he made a series of drawings of The exhibition was clear and informative and divided Henry Moore’s work in to three main areas: Women, War and World Culture. Within the theme of Women was displayed of course Henry Moore’s Mother and Child sculpture which is perhaps one of his best known works and it was truly wonderful to see. However it was the theme World Culture which was perhaps the most interesting for many visitors such as me. The Tate Britain has always been one of my favourite galleries and it was very interesting to witness Henry Moore’s sculptures and works in this venue. He is more widely associated with outdoor settings and in a way I did miss seeing his imposing man made sculptures set in the natural meekness of a garden or park. On the other hand it was great to see the full range of his work in the luxury of a gallery and with the accompanying information this really was an excellent exhibition.
I think I have a compelling answer for what we should put together for Neil’s party. We should book some val thorens accommodation as a surprise, you know that it is his fave place to go. Let me know so I can get numbers together by the end of this week.
