Mid-Century Modernist Draped Figure Watercolor – Signed “Moore” – In the Style of Henry Moore – Framed
Description
Striking mid-century modernist watercolor and ink painting depicting a monumental draped figure emerging from a richly layered blue-green and charcoal ground. The sculptural handling of the form and rhythmic folds strongly recalls the aesthetic language associated with British modernism and the work of Henry Moore.
The composition emphasizes mass, contour, and protective enclosure, giving the solitary figure a powerful, carved, almost stone-like presence. Expressive ink linework combined with dimensional tonal washes creates depth and atmosphere, lending the piece a contemplative and architectural quality.
Signed “Moore” and dated 38 in the lower right corner.
Presented with matting in a gilt gold frame, no glass, ready to hang.
