Yet just one year following his retirement, the Tate (under the directorship of John Rothenstein) gladly accepted Moore's large green Hornton stone carving Recumbent Figure of 1938. Of all Moore's work perhaps, this carving (for which the present work is a maquette) came to symbolise not just Moore's output but to act as shorthand for modernity in 20th Century Britain.Recumbent Figure was commissioned by the architect Serge Chermayeff, who was building himself a modernist home on the Sussex Downs. The carving was to be positioned at the intersection of Chermayeff's terrace and garden, the connection point between his contemporary architecture and the ancient rolling countryside beyond. Moore recalled 'My figure looked out across the great sweep of the Downs and her gaze gathered the horizon. The sculpture had no specific relationship to the architecture. It had its own identity and did not need to be on Chermayeff's terrace, but it so to speak enjoyed being there, and I think introduced a humanising element; it became a mediator between modern house and ageless land' (Henry Moore in Sculpture in the Open Air, British Council film, 1955, transcript reprinted in Alan Wilkinson (ed.), Henry Moore: Writings and Conversations, Aldershot 2002, p.258–9).Chermayeff ran into financial woes, and Recumbent Figure was returned to the artist, from whom it was purchased by the Tate in 1939. The carving was immediately shipped to New York to be showcased at the British Pavilion of that year's World's Fair, and due to the outbreak of war this intended brief excursion turned into a several-year-long stay. The work was displayed at MOMA and this unplanned circumstance greatly bolstered Moore's reputation in North America. The museum's director wrote in 1946 'It was with great regret that we saw it leave. It had won wide esteem among the museum visitors.' (John James Sweeny, letter to John Rothenstein, 7 March 1946, Tate Public Records TG 4/9/568/1).Following Recumbent Figure's return to the UK, the carving was featured in Battersea Park's first open-air exhibition, where again it drew much attention. Vogue magazine featured the work across its pages alongside sharply dressed models, appropriating Moore's carving as a symbol of the newness so appreciated by its fashion forward readership. In contrast, cartoonists satirised the figure, and in this context the carving's status as a modern icon was subverted to poke fun at politics of the day. Through such broad exposure the carving soon became one of the most famous modern works within the Tate's collection, a status confirmed when its image was included prominently as part of the tiling display at Pimlico station.At the time Moore carved the four-and-a-half-foot Recumbent Figure it was his largest and most ambitious work to date and only made possible by his recent move from Hampstead in London to Burcroft in Kent. The larger studio-space, ability to work outdoors and the hiring of Bernard Meadows as an assistant enabled Moore to increase the scale of his work substantially. To aid this new practice Moore produced a maquette for Recumbent Figure in clay. This is the first time in his career that he adopted a method of scaling up, which would become a mainstay of his sculptural practice thereafter. Meadows recalled that he and Moore attempted, unsuccessfully at first, to cast the clay maquette to lead in a meadow field at Burcroft. Moore subsequently cast the clay to a bronze edition in 1945, to which the present cast belongs.Not only does Recumbent Figure represent one of Moore's earliest maquettes, most importantly it possesses one of the earliest instances of piercing the form, a major development of a highly important device the artist would frequently draw upon throughout his career. Speaking of this progression at the time, Moore stated that 'The first hole made through a piece of stone is a revelation. The hole connects one side to another, making it immediately more three-dimensional. A hole can have as much shape-meaning as a solid mass. Sculpture in air is possible, where the stone contains only the hole, which is the intended and considered form' (Henry Moore, 'A Sculptor Speaks', Listener, 18 August 1937, pp.338–40).This lot is subject to the following lot symbols: ARAR Goods subject to Artists Resale Right Additional Premium.For further information on this lot please visit Bonhams.com

Dame Barbara Hepworth (British, 1903-1975)Forms in Space signed and dated 'Barbara Hepworth 1946' (lower right)pencil, gouache and crayon on gesso-prepared board23.5 x 28.9 cm. (9 1/4 x 11 3/8 in.)Footnotes:ProvenanceWith Piccadilly Gallery, London, April 1964, where acquired by E. SommerTheir sale; Christie's, London, 10 June 2005, lot 103, where acquired by the family of the present ownersPrivate Collection, U.K.The present work is catalogued as D 84 A in the forthcoming catalogue raisonné of Barbara Hepworth's paintings.The 1940s were the most prolific decade for Hepworth in terms of drawings, for having moved to Cornwall in 1939 with Ben Nicholson and their three triplets, she spent less time carving but made, in her words, 'innumerable drawings in gouache and pencil' (Barbara Hepworth quoted in Alan Wilkinson, The Drawings of Barbara Hepworth, Lund Humphries, Farnham and Burlington, 2015, p.59). Kept busy by the domestic necessities of their three children, the drawings were an important outlet for her creativity, as she wrote in a letter to E. H. Ramsden in 1943: 'If I didn't have to cook, wash-up, nurse children ad infinitum, I should carve, carve, carve. The proof of this is in my drawings. They are not just a way of amusing myself nor are they experimental probings – they are my sculptures born in the disguise of two dimensions.' (Ibid., p.69). Hepworth was indeed very productive in creating these abstract drawings during this period, a way of overcoming the historic difficulties of juggling motherhood with furthering her artistic career which were hampered yet further by the scarcity of food and materials during the Second World War, with rationing continuing in Britain until 1954. The present lot, created in 1946, stems from this challenging time. Determined and exceptionally hard-working, Hepworth would endeavour to work through illness or difficulty many times in her life, noting too the societal disadvantages that she often had to fight against as a sculptor: 'I am constantly plagued by this 'little woman' attitude'. Not only did these drawings allow her a creative outlet, but they also sold well, with examples bought by close friends who visited her in Carbis Bay, including C.S. Reddihough, Margaret Gardiner, John Wells, Alastair Morton and others. Indeed a letter detailing a visit from Jim Ede in 1944 shows just how desperate times could be: 'Jim was charming - so nice to the children & so refreshing to be with. He enjoyed all the work, the stones, the shells & crystals & he's lent us a delightful deep blue Miro which looks wonderful in the studio with the sculptures. He bought 3 little paintings of Bens & though he may not realise it completely saved our life - we were at bottom & could not pay either school bills or grocer!' (Barbara Hepworth quoted in Eleanor Clayton, Barbara Hepworth: Art & Life, Thames & Hudson, London, 2021, p.112). Hepworth's approach to these drawings was one of an exploration of ideas, but they were not works that she relied upon for the creation of a particular sculpture, in comparison to Moore's reliance on preparatory drawings. She noted that: 'These drawings I call 'drawings for sculpture'; but it is in a general sense – that is – out of the drawings springs a general influence. Only occasionally can I say that one particular drawing has later become one particular sculpture' (Barbara Hepworth, quoted in Alan Wilkinson, op. cit., p.59). Similarities and ideas stemming from this drawing can be seen however in sculptures such as Pendour, 1947 (Hirshhorn Museum and Sculpture Garden, Smithsonian Institution, Washington DC), and Pelagos, 1946 (Tate, London).The present lot, Forms in Space, has a crispness and definition which is particularly satisfying: a twist of pencil lines convey the tension of strings, tightly radiating out from a curved arc near the centre, which would have been drawn using a ruler and compass. The sculptural shape in the centre of the work emerges from a blue-grey background, flecked and varied, as though the rippling waves of an incoming tide, seen through a veil of mist. Smoothed onto the shapes of the form are shades of white, grey and blue, contrasted with bright areas of sky-blue and yellow. Always intimately connected to the natural world which surrounded her in Cornwall, the sculptures and related drawings of this time had a particularly poetic resonance for Hepworth: 'I used colour and strings in many of the carvings of this time. The colour in the concavities plunged me into the depth of water, caves, or shadows deeper than the carved concavities themselves. The strings were the tension I felt between myself and the sea, the wind or the hills'. (Ibid., p.71).The drawings of the 1940s were for Hepworth then an important outlet, a lifeline for her creative impulses and a vital source of income when domestic duties limited her ability to carve. Always in tune with the landscape around her, she deeply felt and absorbed the inspiration that came to her from the sky, waves, and land that rolled through and around the Cornish peninsula. Independent, finished art works in their own right, these drawings are a special testament to her resolute determination to work whatever the circumstances, and Forms in Space is an important example of this.We are grateful to Dr. Sophie Bowness for her kind assistance with the cataloguing apparatus for the present work.This lot is subject to the following lot symbols: ARAR Goods subject to Artists Resale Right Additional Premium.For further information on this lot please visit Bonhams.com
