Imens i livet hos Henry Moore
Hele livet1940–1986
A bomb in Hampstead: the move to Hoglands
In September 1940 bomb shrapnel hit the Moores’ Hampstead home and they left London for Hoglands, a farmhouse in the hamlet of Perry Green near Much Hadham in Hertfordshire. It remained Moore’s home and workshop for the rest of his life; though he grew wealthy he never felt the need to move to larger premises.
1944
The death of Moore’s mother
Moore’s mother, Mary (née Baker), died in 1944; two years later his daughter was named after her.
March 1946
The birth of his daughter Mary
After several earlier miscarriages Irina gave birth to their only child, Mary, in March 1946, named after Moore’s mother. The loss of his mother and the arrival of the baby focused his mind on the family, which he expressed in many mother-and-child compositions.
1946–1947
A retrospective at MoMA and his first trip to America
In 1946 a retrospective of Moore’s work opened at the Museum of Modern Art in New York, and he made his first visit to America. The exhibition brought him fame as one of the finest masters of the twentieth century.
1948
The Venice Biennale prize
In 1948 Moore won the International Sculpture Prize at the Venice Biennale.
