Figures Allonges, 1971
A Henry Moore (1898-1986) Original Lithograph. The name translates to
Elongated Figures or Reclining Figures but is best described as Reclining Nudes.
Given as a wedding gift, the abstract figures evoke languid sexuality even as you have trouble discerning the actual body parts or whether the figure includes one or two individuals.
The lithograph's beautiful rich golden yellow and soft blue greens soften and highlight the black line drawings. The image measures 11.5 x 8.75 inches.
Henry Moore was a British artist, renowned for his sculptures and drawings. While famous for his powerful drawings of people sheltering in the London Underground during the Blitz, he also is well known for his abstracts both in sculpture and drawing of the reclining human body.
The original gift giver attached a clipping detailing the artist's career to the back of the lithograph, a copy of which can be seen in the photos and provides more information about the artist. There is also a label from Ferdinand Roten Galleries in Baltimore, Maryland which provides the name of the artist, and the words "For "XXe Siecle: Original Color Lithograph.
The frame is being retained so as to protect the lithograph, but shows significant wear and should likely be replaced with a frame more in keeping with the quality of the art.
