From the Paper:

Henry Moore's long artistic career produced a multitude of sculptures with remarkably individualistic traits, although they are clearly the vision of a single creative mind. Their simplicity and mass combine with a curious gracefulness and lightness, making the viewer look closer and even attempt to interact with the work.

His sculpture "Reclining Woman," done in 1930 in Hornton stone, evokes the heavy power of his early works. Her big body is a series of undulating hills and simple peaks, like the rural countryside where Moore grew up.
