The series of fascinating monthly talks on art and the First World War that opened in October to a capacity audience is set to continue with a talk on 4 November that sheds new light on the impact the First War had on sculptor Henry Moore.
Dr Alice Correia, formerly Henry Moore Foundation Research Fellow at Tate, reveals how Moore’s wartime experience as a young man penetrated his subsequent work, despite Moore’s own denial and his silence on the subject.
Organised in partnership with Leeds Art Gallery and Legacies of War at the University of Leeds, ‘Art and the First World War: Global to Local’ opens new regional perspectives on the impact the War had on key regional cultural figures through the series that unrolls over the next few months until May 2015.
The talk is free and will be held at Leeds Art Gallery, The Headrow, on 4 November 2014, 18-19.00.
