Pas à pas > EXPOSITION "HENRY MOORE" Introduction

Henry Moore est l’un des sculpteurs les plus influents du XXe siècle et le premier artiste britannique mondialement connu de son vivant. Incarnation du modernisme de l’après-guerre, son art amorce le renouveau de la sculpture en Grande-Bretagne, un mouvement qui se poursuit encore aujourd’hui. Ses sculptures sont exposées dans de nombreuses villes et musées du monde entier ; leurs formes organiques continuent d’attirer un public toujours plus large et d’inspirer de nouvelles générations d’artistes.
L’exposition retrace sa vie et sa carrière extraordinaires à travers un choix d’oeuvres emblématiques, en très grande partie issues des collections de la Henry Moore Foundation de Perry Green, où il a vécu et travaillé.

Henry Moore was one of the most influential sculptors of the 20th century and the first British artist to become a global star during his lifetime. As the embodiment of post-war modernism, his art initiated the revival of sculpture in Great Britain, a movement that continues today. His sculptures are exhibited in many cities and museums throughout the world; their organic shapes continue to attract an ever growing audience and inspire new generations of artists.
The exhibition traces his extraordinary life and career through a choice of emblematic works, most of which are on loan from the collection of the Henry Moore Foundation at Perry Green, where he lived and worked.
