Henry Moore: A Revolution in British Sculpture – A Lecture Presented by The Arts Society Ealing

Henry Moore is one of the most popular and important British sculptors of the twentieth century, revolutionising the way people thought about the human figure and sculpture, and making beautiful forms that grew out of his love for the landscape. He was often inspired by the art of the past and of other cultures, but he was also at the forefront of modernism – creating a new language of sculpture, full of abstract shapes, holes and magisterial forms. This talk explores his life and works, as well as the vibrant artistic world of mid-twentieth century Britain. It also ties in with the new exhibition of Moore's work at Kew Gardens.

Our lecturer, Jo Walton combined teaching and lecturing with a career in art bookselling. She has been a volunteer guide at both Tate Britain and Tate Modern, and is now a freelance lecturer for The Arts Society, The National Gallery, The Art Fund, and local art societies.

This talk starts at 7:30pm on Monday 25th May at St Barnabas Church Hall, Pitshanger Lane, Ealing W5 1QG.

Doors open at 6:45pm, and lecture starts at 7:30pm.

Visitors are welcome to attend at £10 per lecture (£3 for students); payment can be made by card on the evening.
