12. Henry Moore

Henry Moore was a modern sculptor who did large-scale sculptures. He is best known for his larger than life bronze sculptures that are around the world as public works of art. A great deal of his works represent the human body, but it’s not a direct representation. The figures featured in his sculptures are more abstract but have parts of the human body that make it recognizable to the viewer. The lines of his work flow so flawlessly; both concave and convex lines show throughout his works. A lot of his sculptures can be found outside, in parks or outside of museums. Moore sometimes features more than one figure but they look like one because of the way he connects them, which adds interest to his pieces.

"Reclining Figure"

It’s hard not to appreciate Moore’s work as a sculptor because his execution was pretty amazing. I enjoy the scale of his sculptures and I like that he places these large sculptures outside because it brings a new dimension in. His craftsmanship is awesome and the lines of his work are beautiful. I think it is safe to say that even though Henry Moore is no longer with us his work will live on because it beautiful and timeless.
