Two Piece Reclining Figure No. 5 1964

"Two Piece Reclining Figure No. 5" is a bronze sculpture by Henry Moore, created in 1964. Known for his abstract and monumental sculptures, Moore explores the human form in this work, creating a sense of both solidity and fluidity. The two distinct forms, appearing as if in conversation, are rendered with a simplified, geometric approach characteristic of Moore's style. The smooth, dark surface and contrasting negative spaces further contribute to the dynamic interplay of form and void. This piece is a testament to Moore's exploration of organic shapes and the inherent beauty of the human figure in abstract form.
