A large piece of stone or wood placed almost anywhere at random in a field, orchard, or garden, immediately looks right and inspiring.”
-- Henry Moore

“I sometimes begin a drawing with no preconceived problem to solve, with only the desire to use pencil on paper... but as my eye takes in what is so produced, a point arrives where some idea crystallizes, and then a control and ordering begins to take place.”
-- Henry Moore

-- Henry Moore

-- Henry Moore

#Ideas #Drawing #Sculpture

-- Henry Moore

#Memories #Artist #Two
“The construction of the human figure, its tremendous variety of balance, of size, of rhythm, all those things make the human form much more difficult to get right in a drawing than anything else.”
-- Henry Moore
