Henry Moore (1889 Castleford/Yorkshire - 1986 Much Hadham) (F)
'Figures with Sky Background I', Farblithografie auf Bütten, 46 cm x 45 cm Blattmaß, 27 cm x 27,5 cm Plattenmaß, signiert, 30/50 nummeriert, verso betitelt, Provenienz: Privatsammlung Hannover; Henry Moore wurde am 30. Juli 1898 in Castleford im britischen West Yorkshire geboren und zählt zu den bedeutendsten englischen Bildhauern des 20. Jahrhunderts. Moore, der am besten für seine großformatigen Skulpturen bekannt ist, hinterließ auch ein beachtliches graphisches Oeuvre. Viele seine Grafiken sind als zweidimensionale Vorstudien zu seinen Werken in Marmor oder Bronze zu verstehen oder greifen auf die unverkennbare Formensprache seiner bildhauerischen Arbeiten zurück, dabei war das zentrale Thema seiner Arbeit der menschliche Körper, überwiegend der weibliche. Bei zahlreichen Aufenthalten in Paris knüpfte der Künstler Kontakte mit der Avantgarde, insbesondere mit Constantin Brancusi und Pablo Picasso. Trotz seines Aufstiegs zu einem der erfolgreichsten britischen Künstler der Nachkriegszeit, lebte Moore, der als siebtes von acht Kindern einer Bergarbeiterfamilie aufwuchs, sehr sparsam, sodass der größte Teil seines Geldes in die Finanzierung der Henry Moore Stiftung floss, die bis heute die Bildung und Förderung im Bereich der Kunst unterstützt.
