Sheep shape (prototype)

Henry Moore

1971/Bronze/England
Henry Moore is a British sculptor who represents the world's modern art scene. Moore's work is inspired by natural forms such as people, plants and animals. As part of the production process, I first make a small maquette (template) that fits in the palm of my hand, and then expand it into an intermediate-sized "prototype" while imagining that the sculpture will be placed in a landscape.
The outdoor work, enlarged from this original model to a height of 5m70cm, is in the collection of the Henry Moore Foundation in the UK. The plaza of No. 1 Building where the exhibition is exhibited is designed to resemble an English garden, and Moore has the following to say about the outdoor exhibition: ``Indoor exhibitions tend to get caught up in a kind of academic way of thinking, but once you go outside and feel the sun, the rain, and the changing clouds, you realize that sculptures are also a part of life. I think so.”
