MOORE, Henry
 
Sleepers; fine collotype from the wartime suite of Moore’s sketchbook, London, 1944.
 
Description
 
Collotype in near fine condition and without fading.
Prior to the war, Henry Moore was heavily associated with Surrealism. The raw empathy he felt for defenceless Londoners forced a permanent shift in his career toward a more compassionate and humanist vision of the human form. The wartime sketches were fundamental in this development.
Framed and glazed; contemporary wooden frame, navy finishing, with acid-free mount.
