The pursuit of constructivist way of thinking, surreal subconscious expression.

By observing the organic forms in nature (such as crustaceans, bones, stones, roots, etc. ), we can understand the relationship between space and form, the influence of natural forces on form, etc., so that our works can conform to the laws of natural forces as much as possible. He said: "There are asymmetric laws in nature. The smooth pebbles washed by waves show asymmetric laws of stone loss and wear." "The joints of trees strongly and naturally twist the trunk from one direction to another. They are ideal wood carvings. " At the same time, he kept learning from primitive art. He said, "The most prominent feature of all primitive arts is their vitality. This is a reproduction of people's direct feelings about life. " Therefore, in his creation, he first pursues the texture of the object and retains the original aesthetic feeling of the material. He would rather ask for a sculpture that looks like a "living" stone or tree trunk than ask them to look like a real person.

spatial coherence

From virtual, thin shell, nesting, insertion and other techniques, the factors of characters are boldly and freely alienated into rhythmic and rhythmic spatial forms. The most outstanding representative work is 195 1 Its theme is still "Lying Man", which was created under the influence of 1926, the statue of the rain god in the culture of Cote antar. The volume of the neck, chest and abdomen is handled by a round hole, which is smooth and natural and charming. The King and Queen written by 1952 is a representative of flat modeling. Simple plane modeling creates an undulating three-dimensional space. Since then, he has been obsessed with the theme of integrity, creating immortal great and solemn sculptures, which have also been widely praised.

The style is between tradition and abstraction, elegant and simple, full of infinite vitality.

Based on the human body, the human body is abstracted, deformed, elongated, punched and flattened. Moore did not join any school, but his creative style was influenced by many art schools and artists, forming his unique personalized style. He likes primitive art and Mexican sculptures collected in the museum very much. Their shapes are vivid and natural, simple and frank, giving people a childish feeling. He believes that these are the most prominent features of primitive art, they are full of vitality, and they are the reappearance of people's direct feelings about life. Moore thinks they are the most important. His understanding of these sculptures prompted him to try his best to express the primitive art, the passionate pursuit of human life and the frankness and simplicity of its expression. 1924, Moore imitated the Indian sculpture style in the pre-Columbian period and created the first sculpture "Mother and Son". This sculpture is rich and complete, with a strong sense of volume and simplicity. The facial features and hands are very concrete, and there are almost no abstract elements, which are very similar to the original sculpture. Although the style of this work is still immature, there are too few personalized elements, and there is almost no sculpture language and style of its own, but he has taken a big step. Later works were all changed and adjusted in this big sculpture language, which means that his creative career began from now on.

"hole" technology

Moore always unexpectedly digs out the space in the entity to reveal the inner form, so that the entity and the void are interdependent and in contrast. Holes can emphasize the continuity of space. This way of expression breaks the inherent concept of traditional sculpture, makes space penetrate the sculpture, makes space a part of the entity, integrates sculpture and space, completely liberates the proper form of the work, expands the internal tension of the sculpture, emphasizes the connection between different parts of the sculpture, and reveals the relationship between sculpture and space, thus realizing the natural extension of the sculpture space. You can see the blue sky and white clouds, flowers and trees inside the sculpture, which gives people a special feeling and enriches the sculpture. In this way, the environment and sculpture combine and complement each other, thus reaching a high artistic level and making his sculpture have tenacious vitality. Although it is not Moore's initiative to make holes in sculpture, some sculptors have used this technique before and after him in the history of modern western sculpture, but Moore is the most successful and perfect sculptor who applied this technique. This technique played a central role in his later works. "Cave" is an important factor that makes his sculpture produce strange charm, which has become Moore's trademark and the most shining scene of Moore's sculpture style.
