Moore Once More
My last pic from the Henry Moore Sculpture Centre at the AGO. I was also surprised that I could take pics in here but there were no signs and I asked a guard who wandered through while I was there and he said it was fine. It really is a wonderful space in which to view these pieces - somehow the plaster works seem so personal as opposed to when they have been cast in bronze.

nice :)
Again, cool reflections in the floor. Mr. Moore seems to think when it comes to heads, less is more! :-)
Often the answer is 'no'. I don't see why not, especially with sculpture, and when it means that people are going to share artwork.
The woman at the back looks very relaxed (and very recognisable for a Henry Moore!)
In São Paulo there are only two museums I know I can take pictures (one is located at your favourite park); I always wonder why not when many famous museums in Europe, with an vast collection of antique art don't prohibit.
I love the one here in front.
Great shot, RedPat. I was thinking the same thing, that they look better in plaster.
Alawys good when you're actually allowed to take photos in places like this!
I agree, these would be the originals that the casts would have been moulded from right ? Really interesting. Its always a surprise and a treat when allowed to take photos, for us too Pat.
I like the way some of shots have a warmer light and others are cooler. This is a really nice exhibit and it's good to see it again. :)
Love that reflection! It adds an extra dimension to the enjoyment of his work.
I agree with your statement about them being more personal in plaster than in bronze. It's so true. I really like the one in the background of this shot.
This is my favourite shot of the Moore series. Wonderful!
We have a bronze version of his seated woman on the right in our our National Gallery of Victoria sculpture garden. Great that you could take photos.
Very powerful sculptures!
