Image dimensions: 38x56 cm. Lithograph in colors - Signed in pencil lower right - Numbered in pencil lower left (there were also 15 artist’s proofs) - Printed at the Curwen Studio, London and published by Galleria Marino, Rome. Specimen 1/50. Famous above all as a sculptor, Henry Moore experimented with various graphic techniques throughout his career. In the 1970s he produced a number of lithographic variations on the theme of a reclining figure, and this 1976 lithograph may be considered as part of that body of work. Catalog Raisonne Ref. Cramer 439 Henry Moore (Castleford, July 30, 1898 – Much Hadham, August 31, 1986) Henry Moore was born in Yorkshire in 1898 to a humble family but nonetheless he was able to receive an education; first, at the Leeds Art School and later at the Royal College of Art in London. He takes part in the First World War. In 1925, he makes several trips in Europe thanks to a scholarship. Once he returned to his homeland, with the cultural impulses acquired abroad- observations and study of the artistic experiences from the Renaissance to Cubism-he begins his personal sculptural experience. In 1928, he holds his first solo exhibition at the Warren-Gallery in London. At first, his sculptures were characterized by an archaic style but, subsequently, after adhering to the surrealist movement, his work assumes an element of irrationality as well as the use of compositive techniques that testify his contact with the abstractionist environments. In fact, he collaborates with the “Circle” manifesto along with abstractionists Naum Gabo and Ben Nicholson. In 1945, he receives a degree honoris causa in Literature from the University of Leeds. The following year, the Metropolitan in New York hosts a large retrospective show of the artist. In 1948, he wins the International Sculpture Prize at the XXIV Venice Biennial. In the following years, he receives a degree honoris causa in Literature from the University of London, a degree in Fine Arts from Harvard and subsequently, a degree in Law from Cambridge University. At the II Biennial in Sao Paulo Brazil, he wins the International Sculpture Prize. In forty years, Moore produces approximately 200 prints, but already after 1973, he exceeds this number as well.
