TRAVELING EXHIBITION PROSPECTUSThematic Expressions in the Work of Henry Moore Henry Moore (1898-1986) was one of the most important artists, and perhaps the greatest sculptor of the twentieth-century. During his career— which spanned over fifty years—he worked in a variety of mediums. As a sculptor he carved in stone and wood, cast in bronze and lead, and modeled in plaster. Although mainly known for his monumental sculpture, drawing and graphic works were also very important forms of expression for Moore. His works on paper became works of art in their own right and later in his life he became very serious about printmaking and spent many satisfying hours in his graphic studio. Throughout his career in drawing, sculpture and printmaking, Moore would return again and again to familiar themes. Mother and child groups, the reclining figure, totemic motifs, interior shapes encompassed by exterior forms, as well as formations and shapes found in nature, were all common reoccurring themes in his work. In Thematic Expressions in the Work of Henry Moore, a select group of prints and maquettes from The Fairfield Art Museum’s permanent collection represents the themes that fascinated and inspired Moore throughout his long and influential career. Thematic Expressions in the Work of Henry Moore is a traveling exhibition which features 35 prints of lithograph and etching, plus three bronze maquettes. This exhibit is available for display at museums for 2005-2006. SPECIFICATIONS CONTACT
