On July 30, 1898 - Happy
Birthday Henry Moore
The seventh son of a
Yorkshire miner, British sculptor
(雕刻家)Henry
Moore drew his childhood inspiration from a Sunday School
account of Michelangelo. But he was a modernist and it took
time for Moore's majestic(威严)though
curiously haunting(出没)stone
figures to win approval(承认).
As one who claimed it took a lifetime to learn how to set
his sculptures into a landscape, Moore evoked(唤起)form
from space as much as he did from solids, though speaking in
simpler terms. ... The human body in its simplest poses(姿势)
- standing,
seated, reclining(躺靠)-
yet fully reflecting the fragilities(脆弱)and
uncertainties in the century in which they were created.(原文到此)
