How did Moore depict his reclining figures?
Upright
Sitting
Dancing
Pierced or with hollows
Answer
Reclining figures, a recurring theme in Henry Moore's sculptures, are characterized by their perforated or hollowed forms. Moore meticulously crafted these voids to interact with the surrounding space, creating a dynamic play of positive and negative shapes. This interplay of solid and empty areas not only visually lightens the sculptures but also invites viewers to engage with the works from various angles, allowing for a multi-dimensional experience of the art.
