By the time she acquired the following works in 1959-1960 from the great British dealer Eric Estorick, who founded the Grosvenor Gallery in London, Moore’s reputation was growing, but he was still very much a radical contemporary artist. The following selection of bronzes demonstrates important themes in the artist’s oeuvre and a number influences on his signature exploration of figural forms. Executed in the early to mid-1950s, Maquette for Draped Reclining Woman and Maquette for Warrior without Shield are delightful examples of Moore’s dedication to the human form and his life-long interest in nature. Moore began exploring the subject of the reclining figure at the beginning of his career in the 1920s, and the pose became the artist’s most frequently recurring subject. In Maquette for Draped Reclining Woman , this archetypal pose is articulated with a graceful study of the female figure with expressive drapery emphasizing the form of her legs, likely influenced by the artist’s recent trip to Greece in 1951. Moore’s continued inspiration from nature is evident in Maquette for Warrior without Shield , the idea for which evolved from a pebble he found on the seashore in 1952. Reflecting on the inception of his group of Warrior sculptures, Moore recalled: “Just as Leonardo says somewhere in his notebooks that a painter can find a battle scene in the lichen marks on a wall, so this gave me the start of The Warrior idea. First I added the body, leg and one arm and it became a wounded warrior... A day or two later I added a shield and altered its position and arrangement into a seated figure and so it changed from an inactive pose into a figure which, though wounded, is still defiant” (Henry Moore quoted i
