| During the early part of World War II, Henry Moore had to give up working on sculpture when his Hampstead studio was bombed. Instead he concentrated on drawing, creating a monumental series of works showing the plight of people sheltering in the London Underground. This work considers Moore s visual documentation of the shelters within the context of the events of the London Blitz of 1940-41. It looks at Moore s personal and political feelings about the coming war and his doubts about working as an Official War Artist, comparing Moore s wartime drawings to works by other artists and to documentary photographs. In addition, the author considers the influence of the Shelter Drawings on people s feelings about the Blitz and their effect on public attitudes towards Moore s work. |
