Limited Edition Henry Moore lithograph, 1979. Study of a half figure w/clasped hands. This drawing is one of Henry Moore’s early studies for The West Wind, a stone relief commissioned for the façade of the London Transport headquarters. Here Moore worked through ideas of pose and form, an early step in his creative process before his finished sculpture.

Henry Moore was the most important British sculptor of the 20th century, and the most popular and internationally celebrated sculptor of the post-war period. Non-Western art was crucial in shaping his early work - he would say that his visits to the ethnographic collections of the British Museum were more important than his academic study. Later, leading European modernists such as Picasso, Arp, Brancusi and Giacometti became influences. And uniting these inspirations was a deeply felt humanism. He returned again and again to the motifs of the mother and child, and the reclining figure, and often used abstract form to draw analogies between the human body and the landscape.
