Henry Moore (1898-1986) is one of the most important Modernist sculptors. His large-scale semi-abstract sculptures can be seen not only in institutions around the world, but in many outdoor/public spaces as well. Moore's aesthetic, whether expressed on paper or in three-dimensions, is simultaneously elegant yet slightly primitive. Moore's creations suggest they have been either reduced by time or the forces of nature but also demonstrate the artist's mastery at the stylization of the human body.  Caviar20 has a particular interest in sculptors who included printmaking as part of their process (Jean Arp, Louise Bourgeois, Kosso Eloul etc.). Henry Moore is one of the leading 20th century sculptors/printmakers. During his lifetime, Moore 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. To 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. This etching is one of eight from Moore's Mother and Child portfolio. The figures are portrayed in Moore's sculptural style, their length and fullness coming through their two-dimensional portrayal. On the title page of the portfolio, Moore includes a short descriptive text to describe his thoughts and reasoning behind the titular archetype: The Mother and Child idea is one of my two or three obsessions. The subject itself is eternal and unending, a small form in relation to a big form, the big form protecting the small one and so on. It is such a rich subject, both humanly and compositionally, that I will always go on using it. For art lovers in Toronto, Henry Moore has a special relevancy and connection. The Art Gallery of Ontario has the world's largest collection of Moore's work, including over 900 works, most

Unlike iron and other materials, aluminum has a beautiful floating feel and light impression. Ever since I started designing chairs made of aluminum, I have continued to think of forms that emphasize the floating feeling, with only the seat appearing to be floating. A single thin plate made of steel would be able to withstand it, but if it is made of aluminum, it will not be structurally viable unless it is made at least three times as thick or the way it is supported is changed. Therefore, I have been exploring the possibility of a structure in which two thin aluminum plates support each other.A thin sheet of aluminum floats in the air like a wing, disappearing as the sun sets at dusk. I was imagining a scene like that. In order to make the plate float in the air like a thin wing, it is necessary to minimize the number of supporting points, and if possible, it is best to use only one supporting point. Therefore, the shape I adopted this time is a 4mm thick aluminum plate that is curved like a thin wing, and touches the leg that are curved in the opposite shape at one point. However, in this state, it is extremely difficult to maintain balance from side to side when sitting. Also, if a load is applied near the left and right tips, it will easily bend. Furthermore, in order to create a structure that could support a load of 100 kg, like the chairs I had designed up until now, various ingenuity was required.Therefore, prepare a second 4mm thick aluminum plate with a square hole in the middle, insert the leg through the hole, and weld the contact point with the leg. By placing a 4mm thick aluminum plate that forms the seat on top of this and welding both ends together, I am able to balance the left and right sides while supporting the seat's flexure.The combination of the two floating thin aluminum plates and the contrastingly heavy legs gives the seat a floating feeling that seems to disappear when viewed from the front.
