Henry Moore counts as one of the foremost sculptors of the twentieth century. His powerful, semi-abstract sculptures express the artist’s deep connection with nature, while their soft, rounded and concave shapes call to mind the female body. Moore also worked as a litographer, producing his first ‘book of illustrations’ to accompany André Gide’s ‘Prométhée’, in 1950. He also made lithographs to include in his own publications
