Henry Moore and Antony Gormley

Henry Moore:

Henry Moore was born in July of 1898 in the UK. Most of his work depicts abstract forms of the human figure, with his large bronze sculptures gaining the most prominence. Much of his work contains holes or hollowed out areas. He was also influential in bringing a particular form of modernism to the UK.

Antony Gormley:

Antony Gormley is another British sculptor who uses the human form as his subject. He was born in August of 1950. In fact, Gormley regularly uses his own body as the subject of his work and to create metal casts. From his Wikipedia biography, "His work attempts to treat the body not as an object but a place and in making works that enclose the space of a particular body to identify a condition common to all human beings. The work is not symbolic but indexical – a trace of a real event of a real body in time."
