Henry Moore (born July 30, 1898, Castleford,
Yorkshire, England—died August 31, 1986, Much Hadham, Hertfordshire) was an English sculptor whose organically shaped, abstract, bronze and stone figures
constitute the major 20th-century
manifestation of the humanist tradition in
sculpture. Much of his work is monumental, and he was particularly well-known for a series of reclining nudes.
