THE ARTWORK
A large reclining figure occupies Henry Moore’s Terra cotta. The body develops as a continuous ensemble of elevations, curves and openings, distinguished from the background through light-shadow transitions.
Etching and aquatint give surfaces substance without uniform contour. The figure retains its human reference but also invites attention to masses and voids. The large format highlights this balance between presence, support and surrounding space.
