Inspired by Nature: Henry Moore | HENI Talks 'Perspectives'

From a quaint hamlet in Hertfordshire, Henry Moore managed his global art presence. His bucolic home and studio, Perry Green, served not only as a refuge from the blitz in London but a profound source of inspiration.
Godfrey Worsdale guides us around this unique environment, today home of the Henry Moore Foundation, as he outlines the artist’s early life, love of museums and fascination with nature. He shows the way Moore’s influences span ancient and modern sources, his work rooted in the abstract and the real. Such was Moore’s gift for translating these disparate ideas into sculpture, his works prompt us to re-examine the world around us. In this way, Moore ‘shows us how to see’.

I happened upon a small sculpture by Henry Moore, which I purchased from a secondhand store. I became fascinated with his work since ever. Thank you for this piece.

Henry Moore = The Kings New Clothes. The more people fascinated by this hunk of scrap the better.

Hello very educational vid and info

[@conniejz]

Would it be possible to use an audio clip of Moore talking from this for a walking tour that includes one of Moore's sculptures?

[@HENITalks]

Hi Connie, you'll have to contact the original copyright holder to license the clip. Most footage of Moore in this film came from the BBC archive. Hope you enjoyed Worsdale's talk!
