Believing that a good basis for any sculpture is drawing, this form of artistic expression for Henry Moore was just as important as the modeling. Although often complained that the graphic work distracts from the “real work”, which was sculpture, he enjoyed drawing but also graphic as independent creations – the words of David Mitchinson, one of the best connoisseurs of Moore’s art , longtime director of various collections of sculptures and graphics in the Henry Moore Foundation.
