"Moore's house, Hoglands, is preserved just as he left it, replete with his collections of books and artefacts, including Dogon and Ashanti carvings and a Picasso print in the kitchen."
"Before ascending to this rural apotheosis, Moore's life was shaped by childhood poverty and formative experiences in both world wars, which inculcated a deep and lasting sense of despair at the human capacity for conflict."
Henry Moore and his wife sought refuge from wartime London in Perry Green in 1940, which became their permanent home. The site evolved into a cultural ecosystem featuring studios, a sculpture park, and an archive dedicated to Moore's work. His house, Hoglands, remains preserved with personal artifacts and collections. Moore's life was influenced by childhood poverty and experiences in both world wars, shaping his artistic vision and deep sense of despair regarding human conflict. The foundation established in 1977 oversees this unique artistic landscape.
