In Moore's work this included depictions of reclining figures or mothers and children. The scale and form of Moore’s sculptures also draw connections between human form and landscape.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eCaviar20 has a particular interest in sculptors who included printmaking as part of their process (\u003ca href=\"https:\/\/caviar20.com\/collections\/all\/products\/jean-arp-composition-1-lithograph-1960\"\u003eJean Arp\u003c\/a\u003e, \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/caviar20.com\/collections\/all\/products\/louise-nevelson-six-pointed-star-1980\" title=\"Louise Nevelson prints\"\u003eLouise Nevelson\u003c\/a\u003e, \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/caviar20.com\/products\/koso-eloul-elusive-framed-lithograph-1971\" title=\"Kosso Eloul prints\"\u003eKosso Eloul\u003c\/a\u003e etc.)\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eHenry Moore is perhaps one of the leading 20th century sculptors\/printmakers. During his lifetime he created over 700 etchings, lithographs etc. exploring all aspects of printmaking. The practice of printmaking was completely correspondent to his sculptures. He would explore the form or character in one medium and either later realize it in the other medium or vice versa. Moore described his education in printmaking as “intense, exhausting, but exciting and satisfying”.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003ca href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=w_uxBC_8tGk\" title=\"Henry Moore prints exhibition tour organized by the British Council\"\u003eTo learn more about Henry Moore's prints we recommend this video tour of an exhibition of Henry Moore's prints that was organized by the British Council. \u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e“Eight Reclining Figures” is an excellent example of Moore’s attention to the human form.
