    Henry Moore was a famous British artist and sculptor known for his sculptures influenced by constructivism and surrealism. He was born in 1896 in Castleford, England and wanted to attend art college but his father did not allow it. In 1924, he became a sculpting instructor at the Royal College of Art. His first commission was a sculpture for an underground station in London in 1928. That same year he had his first solo exhibition of 42 sculptures and 51 drawings. Moore seemed to derive ideas from simplified representations of the human body and the natural world. His sculptures often explored themes of humanity's relationship to the universe.

    Henry Moore

    By Thanawat Phrommet

    Who is Henry Moore ?


    Henry Spencer Moore or Henry Moore was and still is famously known for being
    an incredible Artist and Sculptor. However he is mainly well recognised for his
    sculptures which seemed to revolved around the ideas of constructivism and
    surrealism. He was born in Castleford, on 30 July 1896 and died on 31 August.
    He was a determined young man and wanted to get a scholarship in a local
    art college, but his father wouldn't allow him. In 1924 he was appointed to be
    a sculptor instructor at the Royal College. His first commission was in 1928,
    produced a sculpture for St Jame's underground building which was a
    Headquarters for London Transport. In that same year, he also had his first oneman exhibition consisted of 42 sculptures and 51 drawings at the Warren
    Gallery.
    It is hard to say where he gets his ideas and his influences from since he is no
    longer contemporary. However from research, it is possible that he was
    influenced by the human body but more simplified. His ideas could have also
    originated from the natural world.

    His Art work


    Moore's Idea Sketches

    Man enters the cosmos


    Ov al with Points

    As mention before, M oore


    seems to derive his ideas from
    forms of nature like the example
    shown on the left. He appears
    to be sculpting one is his
    masterpiece using a elephant
    skull as an origin of an idea or
    inspiration.

    Here are some of Henry M oore work. His work has many
    meanings behind it, especially the one he calls "M an
    Enters the Cosmos which seems to a sculptor that is
    similar to a sun dial, this seems to symbolise humanity's
    knowledge of the universe.
