The Henry Moore Foundation: acquired 1986
This large bronze stands, sentinel-like, on an incline guarding a large pond at the periphery of the Foundation’s estate. It is a good example of the internal/external theme, clearly showing an enclosed form being protected by an outer shape. The vulnerability of the interior element is emphasised by the strength of the encircling or embracing exterior form. This sculptural concept can be related to many of Moore’s mother and child motifs and to his series of helmet heads.
