Henry Moore and Greece
"The Acropolis is wonderful—more marvellous than ever I imagined... it’s the greatest thrill I’ve ever had," Moore once exclaimed.
A master of monumental sculpture, inspired by the human body and natural forms such as rocks and bones, Henry Moore developed a fascination with ancient Greek art during a trip to Greece in 1951. In collaboration with the Henry Moore Foundation, the Athens Gagosian presents an exhibition spanning Moore’s entire career and highlighting how his style evolved from early stone and wood carvings to later works that reflect the influence of classical sculpture. The exhibition focuses on his experimentation with scale and movement reflecting his distinctive modernist touch and it's a great chance to see his work in juxtaposition with one of the cultures that helped shape his artistic direction.
