As a student in Leeds and London, he admired the solidity and power of pre-classical and non-European sculpture, and from the outset of his career in the mid-1920s, he abandoned the representational idiom which had characterized European sculpture since the Renaissance. In the 1930s, Moore’s work was influenced by both Abstraction and Surrealism, but the human form, remained central to his work, especially the reclining female figure, and the mother and child. In 1944 and 1945 Moore made a series of drawings, and terracotta sketch models of family groups of a mother and father with one or two children. These were initiated by a commission from Henry Morris, Director of Education for Cambridgeshire, for a large bronze for Impington village college, designed by Walter Gropius and his partner Maxwell Fry. This project was never realised, but several of the small sketch models were cast in bronze, including this example. One of an edition of seven. reference term-110488 adlib-term-110488 4503a73a-ae49-3f4d-8814-88925dcd11a3 20th Century, Mid reference term-107003 adlib-term-107003 6bfae9de-212e-3a35-9034-289b230284ff 1940s reference term-107693 adlib-term-107693 afd597bc-a952-3ee0-970d-71e530f7efbc George VI reference term-107139 adlib-term-107139 9fd5ef13-3709-388f-b925-702787340e32 literal England England country England reference term-40365 adlib-term-40365 d79c75c2-da7b-3187-918e-f7a374e04005 bronze Height cm 17.8 Width cm 13.2 reference term-110220 adlib-term-110220 e22d3544-a393-3f19-9be4-dc2632ca9942 figure group reference agent-149638 adlib-agent-149638 7376d833-d0a7-3be0-916e-9c892b7a24d8 The Fitzwilliam Museum reference number literal name Sculpture UK Sculpture UK reference publication-185 adlib-publication-185 b17f67ef-8f48-3e99-a10e-4962f5cd2a80 Fitzwilliam Museum, Cambridge.
