Henry Moore (1)










A club visit to Perry Green to see Moore's sculptures.  Top: Restaurant and 'King and Queen', then 'K&Q' reverse view.  'Wall' with 'Vertebrae' behind left.  Part of 'Vertebrae' in close-up.  'Double Oval', then a tapestry of a 1940 sketch of people sleeping in the Underground.  The foreground reclining figure is echoed in the 1983 'Draped Reclining Mother and Baby' (flipped horizontally to show the resemblance).  Elephant skull (with bullet hole in forehead!) given to Moore by the Huxleys.
