Draped Reclining Figure, 1952–53 is a bronze sculpture by Henry Moore.[1][2]
Examples
The sculpture, catalogued as "LH 336", was cast in an edition of four (or "3+1"; one being retained by the artist); there is also a cast study for the work (LH 705) which is on display at Castleford Civic Centre and the Rozelle House Gallery in Ayr.[3] The artist's copy was given to the Henry Moore Foundation and is on display in their sculpture garden around his old house at Perry Green, Hertfordshire.[4] Other copies in the edition are in the Hirshhorn Museum and Sculpture Garden in Washington D.C.,[5][6] and the Museum Ludwig in Cologne, Germany.[7]
Origin
The work was a precursor to later draped figures. According to the artist's foundation, it "successfully added the contours of natural forms as well as a distinct hint of classicism to the repose of his figures, yet preserved that sense of immutability conveyed by the Mexican Chacmool figures that had so profoundly influenced the younger artist."[8]
