Central to Moore’s art is the monumentalization of natural forms and the integration of the figure into the landscape. Impressive installation views show his sculptures in dialogue with Richard Meier’s museum architecture and, in doing so, reinterpret Moore’s fundamental theme of the interplay between sculpture, architecture, and nature. In addition to nature, the conception of man in the art of the Renaissance was an essential source of inspiration for the artist. Important impulses also came from immediate predecessors — above all Aristide Maillol and Auguste Rodin — as well as from his contemporary, Jean Arp, to whom drawing on nature was similarly paramount.
