Henry Moore

[British Abstract Sculptor, 1898-1986]

• Also known as:  Henry Spencer Moore
• Relationships: Not to be confused with Maritime painter Henry Moore (1831-1895)
• Browse all:  British artists  /  sculptors

If a work of sculpture has its own life and form, it will be alive and expansive, seeming larger than the stone or wood from which it is carved. It should always give the impression, whether carved or modeled, of having grown organically, created by pressure from within.
- Henry Moore, 1958, quoted by Edouard Roditi
