  1. Henry Moore at Kew Gardens

    Another warm day in London found us taking the shortish trip by Tube to Kew to see not only the magnificent botanical gardens but also the large collection of sculptures by Henry Moore dispersed throughout. Here are a few snaps I took on the way around. As you can see in the pictures, the gardens are looking a bit parched.

    Cynara Cardunculus, in Kew Gardens, a large thistle plant which is very pollinator-friendly

    It’s more than 30 years since I was last at Kew Gardens, so I didn’t remember the way round very well. We ended up spending about four hours there, including a stop for tea at the Orangery which, I’m delighted to say, was served properly, in a pot, with nice cups and saucers and milk in a little jug. The last time I saw works by Henry Moore in an outdoor setting was back in 2011; see this post.

    Though not many people have gardens as extensive as Kew, they are very helpful in assisting domestic gardeners with hints of things to plant in different spaces: dry, damp, sunlit, shady, you name it.

    Anyway, it was a really lovely day for all kinds of reasons. After picking up his things from the hotel we went to Paddington where I saw my friend onto the train for Heathrow. I’m a bit sad to be on my own again, but it won’t be long until the next time…and the next place.

  2. Wilonsky: The man who tended to Dallas City Hall in 1978 on why it shouldn’t be torn down

    “The city of Dallas will never again have the gumption, the leadership to do anything as spectacular as that building.”

  4. 30 lipca to rocznica urodzin Henry'ego Moore'a (1898–1986) – brytyjskiego rzeźbiarza znanego z monumentalnych abstrakcyjnych form, które rozsiane są dziś po całym świecie. Jego styl, mocno związany z naturą i ludzkim ciałem, ukształtował jedno z najważniejszych zjawisk w sztuce XX wieku. (fot. Wikipedia) #HenryMoore #sztuka #rzeźba #modernizm

  7. In the 1970s, famed sculptor Henry Moore moved to a new studio, which looked out on a field of sheep. He made ballpoint sketches of them in all aspects of their self-absorbed sheep-y life ~ his sketchbook, which he gave to his daughter, was later published.

  8. Back to basics with one of my earliest inspirations Henry Moore.

    Using a medium of nature, destined to be transformed into a work of art.

    Work in progress - Stay tuned for what it will finally be 👨‍🎨🥁

    And I
    love it for its circuit board lines and its ivory colour like it's a finished piece. Great #Exhibit

  10. Here’s a #postcard showing the University of #York. This is the yew garden by Heslington Hall, and the sculpture to the left is Reclining Connected Forms by #HenryMoore, cast in 1969. I think the buildings to the rear are #Derwent College.

    This spot now hosts Dryad by Austin Wright. I’m guessing the Moore went to the Yorkshire Sculpture Park
