"Humanity Refigured:
Henry Moore and Postwar British Sculpture"
2000-12-02 until 2001-03-04
Art Gallery of Hamilton
Hamilton, ON,

As one of the soaring figures of twentieth-century sculpture, Henry
Moore's broad sphere of influence exerted a profound impact on a
generation of British sculptors. Whether in concert with, or in
opposition to his aesthetics the work of Moore's contemporaries
and successors can be assessed in relation to this towering and
defining force of modern sculpture. As the human figure became
the focus of Moore's investigations in three dimensions, a
generation of younger sculptors who emerged after the end of the
Second World War took their depictions of the human figure in
new and highly charged directions.
Dubbed Britain's New Iron
Age, the group - which included Kenneth Armitage, Lynn
Chadwick, Reg Butler, Bernard Meadows and Eduardo Paolozzi -
created expressions of anxiety and disquietude that stood in stark
contrast to Moore's more lyrical mediations on the figure. The
exhibition, curated by Michael Parke-Taylor, Associate Curator of
European Art, brings together work by Moore and his
contemporaries, providing a focused look at British sculpture from
the postwar period.
