Description: It is particularly in the post-war years that British artist Henry Moore (1898-1986) won international acclaim for his semi-abstract sculptures, often inspired by natural, organic forms. The reclining figure also represents a central theme in the sculptor|#x0092;s work. The twelve works in the exhibition explore both these aspects of Moore|#x0092;s oeuvre. The siting of the modern sculptures in the Rijksmuseum gardens is spectacular, set against the 19th century façade of the museum building.
Notes: Published in connection with the exhibition held at the Rijksmuseum, 22 June - 29 September, 2013.
