"I think in terms of the day's resolutions, not the year's."
~Henry Moore
"Woo hoo!" as my friend Alex would say! Isn't this the time of year when those resolutions from January now lay by the wayside? How much better it could be for us--me! some of you, perhaps!--if we took it one day at a time? A little less heat on our already "simmering" and "boiling" expectations!

Henry Moore (1898 - 1986) is perhaps the most influential public sculptor of this century. Drawing on his studies of Classical, pre-Columbian and African art, Moore created original and truly modern sculptural forms. Abstractions of organic shapes were his primary motif. His seated, standing, and reclining figures comprise an enduring vocabulary reflecting the universality of the human condition.
"The observation of nature is part of an artist's life, it enlarges his form [and] knowledge, keeps him fresh and from working only by formula, and feeds inspiration." ~ Henry Moore
"In my opinion, everything, every shape, every bit of natural form, animals, people, pebbles, shells, anything you like are all things that can help you to make a sculpture." ~ Henry Moore as quoted in Five British Sculptors (Work and Talk) by Warren Forma, 1964.
