Henry Moore Exposition

Last Friday, 4th class of EOI Esplugues went to Henry Moore Exposition at Caixa Forum. I must tell that I didn't like going to the exposition but when I were at Caixa Forum with Henry Moore's big sculptures while the guide explained us the story and the creations moments of the artist, I really loved the experience.

When the guide route finished, we watched a video which told us how nature influenced in his sculptures and other things. After that, I started to walk for the room and to look for details in the figures and shapes. I enjoyed the exposition, but there were three pieces that I really loved.

One of them was the "Family Group Figure". I really loved how Henry Moore expressed the unit between de members of the family and how arms of mother and father wrapped the child as they were a knot.

The second one was the reclining figure that was made by two different pieces. I like how the artist worked with bronze. One piece was how a stone that it was sculpted by the sea, strong and powerful sea. Second piece was like a stone that was eroded by the wind and rain. That figure is special for me because you can see all the landscape, I mean the figure, or you can see two different figures. I love the idea of several meanings in the same place.

The third piece was a picture. In that picture there were many people lied on the floor in the underground tunnel. I like the deep feeling when you see the tunnel and the sensation that you can loose yourself. I must recognize the sad feeling when you see it but it is provocative and sometimes, the Art provoke these feelings.

In conclusion, I enjoyed a lot with the experience.
