I travelled to the Henry Moore Foundation, an hour's train ride from central London and a further 20 minutes' drive away.
I would like to describe the British sculptor Henry Moore.
I got off at Bishop's Stortford train station and take a taxi from in front of the station to your destination. The driver gave me his card and booked a return transfer as well.
Who is Henry Moore?
Who is Henry Moore?
Henry Moore is a 20th century British sculptor, born in 1898 as the son of a coal miner who educated him not to do manual labour like himself, and he once became a teacher.
But then the First World War broke out and his life was changed by his experience of war.
As soon as the war was over, he enrolled in the sculpture department at the University of Leeds.
During this time, he made numerous trips to the British Museum, from which he drew inspiration.
He also began to make abstract works, many of which had their roots in man and nature.
The Second World War interrupted his life, this time as a sculptor. He continued to draw the scene in the basement of the evacuation centre.
After the war, he began to create works with family motifs, as if inspired by them.

Henry Moore Foundation
The site where the Henry Moore Foundation is located was his house and studio. He originally had a studio in London, but moved to Hertfordshire after it was damaged in the Second World War.
From this small village, he grew into a sculptor who produced world-class work.
Here, you are surrounded by nature together with his artwork. The life force of nature is contrasted with a group of sculptures. His works have an inner life force within them.
Because he absorbed so much from nature and animals and used it as his creative power. Bones, stones, everything.
He himself states. 'I want my work to be seen with the trees, the sky and the water. Not with the architecture."
