 That art is not wished to, not even a luxury high-ranking,
but it is an urgent need of the necessities of human soul in its
dialog with the universe continuing uphill the ocean, if it is
true that only art without everyone should say further those
human beings without art.

 Artists are working with cities engineers by the
scientists, educators, writers, critics and intellectuals

The question is: does raise the masses to high

technical level of understanding, or disembark

And the answer we are trying to raise the level of
the public art and beauty, because when wants

Henry Spencer Moore OM CH FBA (30 July 1898 – 31 August 1986) was an
English artist. He is best known for his semi-abstract monumental bronze
sculptures which are located around the world as public works of art. As
well as sculpture, Moore produced many drawings, including a series
depicting Londoners sheltering from the Blitz during the Second World
War, along with other graphic works on paper.

His forms are usually abstractions of the human figure, typically depicting
mother-and-child or reclining figures. Moore's works are usually
suggestive of the female body, apart from a phase in the 1950s when he
sculpted family groups. His forms are generally pierced or contain hollow
spaces. Many interpreters liken the undulating form of his reclining
figures to the landscape and hills of his birthplace, Yorkshire.
