he used bronze
Henry Moore's sculpting style was mainly 'Direct Sculpting' though he also did Abstract and Monumental sculptures.
No idea..I think Henry Moore created linear affects on his sculptures and he did his sculptures like this because it didnt show full detail on the face and body structure.Also he got ideas from the London air rade shelter when there was bombing in London.The shelter was dark and everyone was tired and had nothing to do so Henry Moore drew people in the shelter.There is no full detail in any of the pictures from the shelter because it was dark so this was the only way Henry Moore could draw sculptures (ideas for sculpture)
He was more interested in playing with the shape and form of the figures than expressions.
He made a type of sculputure calle hiprophemisis wich is mainly mad out of clay
Henry Moore used bronze, stone, graphite, chalk, plaster, elmwood, honton stone, construction papre, super dough (self hardening) and white glue. I hope this helps!
Henry's inspirations came from natural forms from the earth. He believed that work had to have a vitality of its own. It had to be independent, unique and certainly interesting. Things like mother nature inspired him to create beautiful sculptures like he did.
Henry Moore's reclining figures often represent the universal themes of human form, nature, and the relationship between humanity and the environment. The reclining position suggests a sense of rest, contemplation, and tranquility. Moore's sculptures invite viewers to reflect on the human experience and our place in the world.
Henry Moore first sculpted "Standing Figure" in 1951. After this sculpture, his work takes a different turn and becomes many sculptures of human figures that are reclining, a modern take on Aztec and Mayan sculptures.
Henry Moore's art predominantly focused on abstract interpretations of the human figure, often emphasizing organic forms and shapes found in nature. He frequently explored themes of motherhood, family, and the relationship between humans and the environment in his sculptures and drawings.
