1 Henry Moore 1898 - 1986 English Sculptor Sculpted in Plaster, Clay, Bronze, Marble Modernism – movement against conservative values of realism “All art should have a certain mystery and should make demands on the spectator. Giving a sculpture or a drawing too explicit a title takes away part of that mystery so that the spectator moves on to the next object, making no effort to ponder the meaning of what he has just seen. Everyone thinks that he or she looks but they don’t really, you know.” – Henry Moore 1. Oval with Points, c. 1968 - 1970 BronzeConcept DrawingMarble
