Henry Moore at Tate Britain is set to be one of the biggest and most important exhibitions of 2010. Bringing together over 150 pieces of the celebrated artist's work, the Henry Moore show is brimming with amazing sculptures, carvings and deeply moving drawings.
This has been a fascinating and very enjoyable romp through the creative output of Mr Moore! Reclining women, mother and child figures and deeply evocative studies of London during the Blitz are all present. His drawings are dark, atmospheric and charged with a claustrophobic eeriness that leaves you searching for light and a way out! ...It is incredible to see how his heavy crayon strokes and dark inky washes mirror the marks left on the surface of his sculptures - linear, deep and very expressive! Brilliant show, leaves you wanting MORE Mr. Moore (sorry)
