A synthesis of natural and human form, ‘Two Reclining Figure: Points’ explores the essence of form and its archetype.
Diving beneath the surface of lines and volumes, Moore references Jung’s idea of the ‘Significant Form’, transposing it to a sculptural context. Yet, the two biomorphic humanoid figures, according to Moore, should have been perceived by the viewer uniquely as forms, and not as descriptive or reminiscent.
