#FridayFeature | Henry Moore - Moore was an exceptionally talented draughtsman, producing a body of nearly 7,500 drawings over seven decades...He found that its eclecticism and ease of use made drawing an ideal medium for a wide range of purposes: from a tool to study natural forms or the work of other artists to means for the development of new sculpture, or as a way to experiment with languages and techniques. - However, for Moore drawing was not merely a means to an end, but also a medium for finished artwork in its own right - so much so that he was sometimes referred to as a 'sculptor and painter'. - Text source: Mark Hudson, Henry Moore Drawings: The Art of Seeing, Review, The Telegraph, April 3, 2019 - Artwork info: Henry Moore, Seated Figure on a Bench, 1958-59, pencil, pastel and wash on paper, 11 5/8 x 9 3/8 inches - #henrymoore #henrymoorefoundation #henrymooresculpture #sculpture #drawing #arthistory #bergamotstation #artsdistrictwest (at Bergamot Station) https://www.instagram.com/p/BzQw6pSFgVW/?igshid=pdjqdbff2oxh
