Henry Moore: Back to a Land Exhibition Catalogue

This fully comprehensive exhibition catalogue was created to coincide with Henry Moore: Back to a Land.  The exhibition explored the artist’s radical notion of placing sculpture in the landscape, something which forever changed British sculpture. Monumental sculptures, such as Large Two Forms (1966–69) and Large Reclining Figure (1984), were displayed against the beautiful and historic vistas of the Bretton Estate. Experienced as monuments in the landscape, and referencing prehistoric land interventions, Moore’s sculptures in the open air are ever changing, given life through different skies, weather and season. A founding patron of YSP, Moore was committed to showing his work in the open air and in the rolling hills of the former Deer Park in particular.
