"Reclining Connected Forms"

This sculpture is a reproduction of English artist Henry Moore’s mother and child abstract piece.

 

In my sculpture there are three recurring themes: mother with child; the reclining figure; large form protecting small form. In this sculpture I have united all three motifs. I draw on human feelings, on the primary feelings of man. The need of protection is one of these feelings or primary instincts.

 

~ Henry Moore quoted from an interview with Constanzo Costantini in Il Messagero, Rome, 10th April 1974

 

Reclining Connected Forms sculpture by Henry Moore is made of Roman travertine marble. It is located in The Park between ARIA Resort & Casino and Crystals retail and entertainment district.
