HIS DARKENED IMAGINATION : SURREALIST MOORE
May 13, 2010 1:00pm talk/event
Moore’s Recumbent Figures are now so well known that familiarity can blind us to their surreal, and often disturbing disjointedness. Professor Andrew Causey, author of The Drawings of Henry Moore, shows how Moore’s drawings from the 1930s and 1940s reached beyond the possibilities of sculpture, and shared the darkened imagination of Surrealism.
