    Henry Moore (1898-1986) was a British abstract sculptor born in Yorkshire. He studied at Leeds College of Art and the Royal College of Art in London, and his wartime experiences as a soldier influenced his drawings. Moore is renowned for his abstract sculptures based on figures and objects found in nature that are rounded, smooth, and often have holes or openings, leaving them looking strange and unreal.
