Reclining Figure, Interior Setting I

Henry Moore · 1977 · color lithograph on T. H. Saunders wove paper ·  Accession ID  2006.125.10

A gleaming, free-standing, abstract bronze sculpture made up of three rounded forms fills a two-story, covered entryway. The rounded, smooth forms sit side by side. The form on our right curves slightly inward up the left side and is lightly pinched at the center along the right side. The form on the left is shaped like a fat U with a deep, wide curve at the bottom. Most of the sculpture’s surface is lightly mottled in a rich honey-brown color, except at the top of the front face of the U’s arm, which looks as if it were cut vertically to expose an elongated oval shaped disk of highly polished, bright gold-colored bronze. A third form appears as a straight vertical element behind and to the left of the U-shaped piece. The building behind the sculpture has two stories of floor-to-ceiling windows, which reflect darkly in this photograph. The floor and ceiling above the sculpture, where the entryway covers it, are smooth, buff-pink stone. Two rows of deep-set triangles recede into the ceiling.
