Ever Moore: timeless English sculptures in the dunes of The Hague
Dutch NewsLit by the changing skies, more than 70 sculptures, maquettes and found objects from English artist Henry Moore fill an art gallery in The Hague. Henry Moore: Form and Material, shows works inspired by nature, including mother and child figures and multifaceted statues such as the 1,200 kilo Three Way Piece, Broken Figure and Large Totem Head. ‘What Moore does most of all is to make us look: to look at the environment around us, at art but also at nature,’ said museum director Brigitte Bloksma at a press view. A lot of cultures respond to Moore’s language.’ Although Moore is much displayed around the world, one thing that makes this exhibition unique is the museum space, which the curators said has a synergy with the art and with nature. ‘The museum lies in the dunes, it was built from the dunes, and has the architecture of a shell – which relates very nicely to our exhibition here of work by Henry Moore,’ said Bloksma.
