The British sculptor who won over the world
Henry Moore revolutionised sculpture by setting his works outdoors. From 1956 his art appeared outside government buildings, universities and theatres worldwide.
During the 20th century a British coal miner's son changed the world of art. Henry Moore revolutionised sculpture, altering the way we view the human figure and setting his works in natural landscapes. He became internationally renowned and by the 1970s hundreds of his sculptures could be seen outside government buildings, universities and museums around the world. His daughter, Mary Moore, remembers how initially his work shocked his teachers and art critics.
