Bill Brandt/Henry Moore at The Hepworth Wakefield

Apollo Magazine

This exhibition draws attention to the interdisciplinary interests of Henry Moore by connecting his work to that of the photographer Bill Brandt. Moore was a keen draughtsman, and met Brandt when both were creating their ‘shelter pictures’: sketches and photographs of civilians shielding from the Blitz on the London Underground. The exhibition, which reopens on 1 August and has been extended until 1 November, explores this and the other points of intersection between the two artists throughout their careers. It is scheduled to travel to the Sainsbury Center for Visual Art in Norwich and Yale Center for British Art, New Haven.
