Imens i livet hos Henry Moore
Hele livet1924–1932
Teaching at the Royal College of Art
From 1924 to 1932 Moore taught at the Royal College of Art, leaving only once, for his trip to Italy; he had to work just two days a week, which left him time for his own work.
1929–1940
A studio in Hampstead, “a nest of gentle artists”
Soon after the wedding the couple moved to a studio at 11a Parkhill Road in Hampstead, joining a colony of avant-garde artists: Hepworth and her husband Ben Nicholson lived around the corner, along with Naum Gabo, Roland Penrose, Cecil Stephenson and the critic Herbert Read, who called the area “a nest of gentle artists”.
1930s
Paris: Picasso, Braque, Arp, Giacometti
Moore, Hepworth and other members of the Seven and Five Society moved steadily towards abstraction, partly through frequent trips to Paris and contact with Picasso, Braque, Jean Arp and Alberto Giacometti.

Heads the sculpture department at Chelsea
In 1932 Moore took up the post of Head of the Department of Sculpture at the Chelsea School of Art.

1934
Spain: the cave of Altamira
In 1934 Moore visited Spain, seeing the cave of Altamira, which he called the “Royal Academy of Cave Painting”, as well as Madrid, Toledo and Pamplona.
