More Moore...

As promised, here is my drawing in an attempt to vaguely emulate Moore's style of drawing (e.g., his drawings in the 30's-40's of London's underground tunnels during WWII bombing campaigns)

This is my drawing of "Seated Woman" (1957) which was at Tate recently... I loved this sculpture, with its curves, shapes and shadows... the small and somewhat ridiculous tiny head has an "alien" feel about it... she is vulnerable, she doesn't belong here (or anywhere) and still she clutches her strength and maintains her dignity...

I really love the expressive, moody quality of this set of drawings by Moore... and next to his sculptures, with their undulating shapes and shadows, I'm inspired to draw my favourite sculpture of the exhibit, "Seated Woman" (1957).

Though I wonder what is WITH Moore's habit of leaving the heads and other appendages off of his sculptures? They are recognisable as human, but something other than... alien and some are even unfriendly...

And I still like them all the same.

I'll post up the drawing when I'm done with it.

Til next time...
