The sculptures are titled Upright Motives #2 and #7. Although I count three? Anyway, they are by Henry Moore (1898-1986), who hailed from England and was apparently the most important sculptor of the twentieth century.

The View
On Wednesday, I showed you a picture of the Amon Carter Museum, and mentioned that it was at the top of the hill. It is not a steep hill, but a gradual hill leading up from the nearby Trinity River.
Standing on the steps of the museum, you can see that you have a nice view of the skyline of downtown, which is less than two miles away. There is an interesting sculpture across the lawn.

I shouldn't have thought the sculptures were made by Henry Moore. We had an open air exhibtion here lately and they looked quite different from yours. But anyway I like his works very much.
ReplyDeleteThat's quite a view Janey. The sculptures make me think of totems.
ReplyDeleteThey remind me of totems as well.
ReplyDeleteI am surprised by those sculptures as they are totally different to any Moore sculptures that I have seen.
ReplyDeleteDearest Janey,
ReplyDeleteIt sure is a nice overview onto Downtown and the sculptures are in a nice spot. Strange that they are titled that way... makes one wonder!
Hugs and happy weekend.

I googled Henry Moore sculptures and it is clear that he had many different styles. Talented man!
