[QUOTE="bosko69, post: 4627810, member: 16283"]This soft organic molded face and form reminds me of the great post-war UK sculptor Henry Moore. Moore was the Picasso of the atomic mid-century organic form,even his abstract forms have that beautiful soft sinuous feeling.Most of his non-objective works,though not graphically figurative,have the peaceful feeling of a person in repose,lounging,sleeping. Of course you can go back to the Cycladic figures of 3000 to 5000 years ago to see the precursor to Moore's rendition of the human form. Brancusi had rhythmic flow but with a frequently sharper edge.Moore influenced a lot of designers and architects, Corbusier's Notre-Dame du Haut chapel has much of the same organic grace. Of course all the greats influenced each other,Picasso said something like-'Great artists steal.'[/QUOTE]
