Bone-Work
Moore experimented not only with forms but also with colors and Material. This Bronze giant consists of four major Parts, which remind us of the pelvic bone or the knee joints, as well as a reclining woman. The interplay of the Figurative and the abstraction makes the charm of Moore’s cosmos to be affected and touched what is forbidden in the exhibition, unfortunately.

A trip to the country-seat of Perry Green is like a nooner. And in the truest sense of the word: On the green lawn in the sculpture Park, the Henry Moore Foundation dozing lambs between huge Moore sculptures. The 1986 deceased sculptor who is celebrated in the UK as a state artist, put yourself in the lovely parkland to the West of London.
70 acres of Land he bought in the 40 years that he lived with his wife Irina in the village of Perry Green, together, in order to present his sculptures under the open sky. In the middle of sheep pastures, which reach to the horizon. The dialogue with nature was important to him.
Art, on the sheep meadow
In the hamlet of Perry Green, Henry Moore fled in the turmoil of the Second world war. Actually, he wanted himself and his family from the bomb to the German attacks. But then he remained there.

Also because of the sheep, which he observed and recorded. When you walk through the meadows of Perry Green you come to the “Sheep Piece”, one of the sculptures, which placed Moore on the sheep pasture, as the shelter for the sheep that cower there comfortably – or at the sculpture rubbing. The approach to art in the green surroundings of the Henry Moore Foundation is therefore a gauntlet.
On the floor of a special land mines: sheep excrement. The sheep was in the art of Henry Moore’s more as a decorative accessory. In 1972, he began his first sheep drawings should fill a whole book. He studied their movement, their transformation, if you lose the shears their wool, and to contour win and a new body is given to. One could say that The sheep represents Moore everything of interest to him in art: the exploration of body and space, the Interaction of the core and the envelope, trying to make the “Inside” is visible.
In his house “Hogwarts” lived Henry Moore four decades
Retro Sofas and cacti farming
In Perry Green, the visitor learns all the sides of Henry Moore. He can walk around his sculptures, pet, you, as a small model in miniature format and in XXL on the Lawn to see. And he is allowed to visit four studios, in which Moore since 1940 has worked and are scattered around the grounds.
In “Hoglands”, the home of Henry and his wife Irina, including Retro Sofas and cacti breeding, he learns Mrs. Tinsly know – or at least their spirit still shines through, “Hoglands” to be haunted. It dates originally from the 17th century. Century and was expanded by the artist and his wife in the 1960s. Mrs. Tinsly must have been a feisty Secretary, your Desk is much more spacious than that of the Foundation Director in the next room. The Foundation, founded by Moore, by the way, in order to save taxes. As a multi-millionaire he is supposed to be a time of the best taxpayers of the UK.

And was shown so often on television, like no other sculpture has ever been. It was the Symbol of a divided world. But before Henry Moore was to discover in numerous exhibitions in Germany.
