The work of iconic British sculptor Henry Moore (1898-1986) is emblematic of the century in which he lived and died. This major exhibition at the Tate Britain of around 150 works in stone, wood, bronze as well as drawings, describes the legacy of a gifted sculptor and student of the East and West, who deliberately chose to veer off the path of convention. Moore's work was incredibly radical: his undulating anthropomorphic figures, asymmetrical beauty, and post-modern totemics represented a direct challenge to established precedent. The middle path Moore pioneered between abstraction and representation laid the foundation for generations to come.
