Publisher's Synopsis
Henry
Moore is one of the most important and influential artists of the 20th
century. His home, studios and garden at Perry Green in Hertfordshire
provide an invaluable insight into his life and work. When Moore died in
1986 the studios and their contents were preserved so that visitors
could experience them as they were in his lifetime - as if the artist
has just stepped outside. Although no longer working spaces, the studios
provide a glimpse into Moore's world and bring us as close as possible
to his working methods.
This guide to the house, studios and
gardens at Perry Green provides a fascinating introduction to Moore's
artistic practices and the extraordinary range of his work, from
sculpture to textiles, prints and drawings to woodcarving and ceramics.
