Although Henry Moore was most famous for his sculptures, I think his drawings are also pretty amazing and that’s why he is my favourite artist.
Re: Henry Moore
Nice one. Can you post more about him? Was he British?
Re: Henry Moore
Henry Moore (1898-1986) was a British sculptor and artist who created many large bronze sculptures based on themes such as the reclining figure and mother and child. Moore made many preparatory sketches and drawings for each sculpture. He placed great importance on drawing; even when he had arthritis, he still was able to draw. During world war II, Moore was commissioned as a war artist, notably producing powerful drawings of Londoners sleeping in the London Underground while sheltering from the Blitz. These drawings helped to boost Moore’s international reputation, particularly in America.

Re: Henry Moore
^ The first two drawings are of people sleeping in the underground when it was used as air raid shelters during the second world war, as Henry Moore was a war artist.
