Henry Moore's Sheep Sketchbook - Henry Moore
In 1972, when the packing and crating for a major exhibition made it impossible for him to work in his sculpture studios, Henry Moore retreated to a small studio that looks out on a sheep meadow. Sheep are as much a commonplace of the English countryside as hedgerows, but Moore looked at them afresh. Over the course of several months, as sheep were suckled and sheared, Moore produced this delightful flock of sketches and drawings.
Many of the sketches evoke themes that are important in all Moore's work. Here are ewes nurturing their lambs, lambs playing in the meadow, and the swollen stateliness of sheep with full coats of wool. The depiction of a ewe and lamb, for instance, suggests the mother-and-child theme often evoked in Moore's sculpture by a large form sheltering a smaller one.
Henry Moore presented the sketchbook to his daughter, Mary. In this facsimile edition, first created
