Figure and Architecture: Henry Moore in the 1950s

Drawn from the collections of The Henry Moore Foundation and Leeds Museums and Galleries, Figure and Architecture: Henry Moore in the 1950s relates to three key architectural commissions undertaken by Henry Moore: 'Time-Life Screen' (1952-3), unrealised designs for the English Electric Company (1954) and 'UNESCO Reclining Figure'(1957-8). Throughout the 1950s Moore received invitations from architects to produce sculpture for buildings and public spaces. These projects represent Moore's most fully realised attempts to integrate sculpture into the rhythm and fabric of a building. In each example he introduced abstract and biomorphic forms into the restrained elements of modern architecture.
