I have previously mentioned I want to concentrate on print for this part of the project. I feel with the shapes and appearances of the drawings I have been creating, it feels as though the print I will produce will be more suited towards interiors. Henry Moore is an artist who produced a popular range of prints during the 1950's. Not only is it relevant I look at his interior prints, as I aim at producing a print suited to interiors, but also Moore often sought out inspiration from historical sources, as I am doing.
Moore was inspired by ancient tribal art from places such as Africa. The style of art he looked at reminds me of the Maori tribal artwork I researched in the last half of my project for my first outcome.
I like how painterly and 'free' Moore's prints are. They are simplified yet still hold lots of details.
