Edición de la obra Henry Moore

"This spectacular new survey covers every aspect of Moore's drawings, from his school and student days in Yorkshire and London until shortly before his death. Ann Garrould, Moore's niece, provides an introductory account of the artist's life and her selection of over 300 drawings for inclusion as illustrations reflects Moore's own choice of his finest works. Here are magnificent reproductions - 168 in colour - of his discovery of the human figure, especially the reclining figure and the mother and child, which were central and recurring themes, and explorations of natural forms as ideas for sculptures. Also included are pages from sketchbooks, notably the famous drawings of 1940-41 - executed by Moore as an official War Artist and later described by Kenneth Clark as being 'among the most precious works of art of the present century' - of Londoners sheltering in the Underground during the air raids, as well as pages from the 'Sheep sketchbook' of 1972." - book jacket.
