Artist Biography
Painter, watercolourist, engraver. Fishing scenes, interiors, landscapes with figures, landscapes, seascapes.
Henry Moore was the son and pupil of the portrait painter William Moore and the brother of Albert and Edwin. He went to London in 1853, where he studied at the Royal Academy School, but like his brothers, he found the official teaching hard to tolerate. He exhibited in London from 1853, and went on to feature frequently at the Royal Academy, the Suffolk Street Gallery, the British Institution and the Grosvenor Gallery. He was appointed an associate of the Royal Academy in 1885 and a member in 1892. He was also a member of the Watercolours Society.
Moore began by painting interiors, then travelled, visiting France, Switzerland and Ireland, and around 1870, he adopted the genre in which he was to make his name: painting the sea in all its various aspects and different lights. When a bad storm was forecast, he would sometimes cross England in order to observe it. He is considered to be one of the best British seascape painters.

Henry Moore
Henry Spencer Moore OM CH FBA was an English artist. He is best known for his semi-abstract monumental bronze sculptures, which are located around the world as public works of art. As well as sculpture, Moore produced many drawings, including a series depicting Londoners sheltering from the Blitz during the Second World War, along with other prints and graphic works on paper.
His forms are usually abstractions of the human figure, typically depicting mother-and-child or reclining figures. Moore's works are usually suggestive of the female body, apart from a phase in the 1950s when he sculpted family groups. His forms are generally pierced or contain hollow spaces. Many interpreters liken the undulating form of his reclining figures to the landscape and hills of his Yorkshire birthplace.
Moore became well known through his carved marble and larger-scale abstract cast bronze sculptures, and was instrumental in introducing a particular form of modernism to the United Kingdom. His ability in later life to fulfil large-scale commissions made him exceptionally wealthy. Despite this, he lived frugally; most of the money he earned went toward endowing the Henry Moore Foundation, which continues to support education and promotion of the arts.
