   • Early years. Henry Moore was born in Castleford, a small mining town in Yorkshire, England, in 1898. Moore knew he wanted to be a sculptor from an early age, but reluctantly trained as a teacher before joining the army during the First World War.
   • Outbreak of war. In 1939 war broke out again. In 1940, Moore began drawing people sheltering in the London Underground during the Blitz. Moore’s ‘Shelter Drawings’ captured the popular imagination, recognised as a sensitive yet powerful response to the War.
   • Public works. During the War, circumstances forced Moore to concentrate on drawing. However, in 1943 he was commissioned to carve a Madonna and Child for the Church of St. Matthew in Northampton.
   • International reputation. By 1960 Moore was arguably at the height of his powers. In a decade characterised by social and cultural change, Moore was driven to create progressively abstract works inspired by nature, on an increasingly large scale.
