THE ARTWORK
Eight reclining figures form stacked pairs in Henry Moore’s Eight reclining figures. Each body changes the relationship between support, curve and opening while retaining a recognisable motif.
The colour lithograph lets the different solutions be compared as variations of one investigation. Dark tones and ochre accents give forms weight; light intervals distinguish them. The eye moves between poses, observing the body as a construction in space.
