Oh, you have no idea how much I admire Moore. The mere fact of seeing it in your post makes it my favorite post of the day. (No, I'm not exaggerating)
Moore, like Francisco Narvaez (Venezuelan sculptor), are my artistic references. They have helped me a lot in my work and I don't get tired of studying their forms.
Fun fact: my current sculpture professor, put together the exhibition of Henry Moore at the Museum of Contemporary Art in my country in 1983 and was in direct contact with hundreds of pieces from the Moore collection. <3 <3 <3
That is so great! Moore is one of my favorites too, so my next two Art Talk posts are all on Moore. I will have to look into Francisco Narvaez. The is so cool about your sculpture professor putting together a Henry Moore exhibit! From your comment I take it you are in college. Where do you live?
Great, I hope to see that publication very soon!
Oh yeah, I don'tt just recommend Narvaez for being the best exponent of the sculpture in my country Venezuela (which answers your question about me :) ), I also do it because he really deserves it. He was the pioneer of abstract sculpture here. It 's relatively well documented, so I recommend you take a look; you'll find elements that share Moore's aesthetic, like female figures.
@nelsinho Thank you so much for introducing me to Narvaez. So beautiful. Love the one with the child on the parents back. I will have to do some more studying on him and his art work! I had in mind that we could learn and share together. Thank you!
I'm really happy that you liked it :)
