Three Piece Reclining Figure No. 1 1961

"Three Piece Reclining Figure No. 1" (1961) is a bronze sculpture by British artist Henry Moore (1898-1986). Known for his abstract, biomorphic forms, Moore's work frequently explores the human figure and the relationship between interior and exterior space. The sculpture, rendered in a characteristic dark, weathered bronze, evokes a sense of both solidity and fluidity. The forms, reminiscent of the human body in a reclining pose, are simplified and fragmented, inviting viewers to engage with their abstract shapes and the interplay of light and shadow.
