Henry Moore, one of the most prominent British sculptors of the 20th century, is renowned for his semi-abstract monumental bronze sculptures which are located around the world as public works of art. However, Moore's artistic oeuvre extends beyond sculpture to include an extensive collection of drawings and sketchbooks that offer invaluable insights into his creative process. Among these, his sketchbooks are particularly significant as they reveal the evolution of his ideas and the meticulous planning behind his iconic sculptures.

Moore's sketchbooks are not merely preparatory tools but are works of art in their own right. They encompass a wide range of subjects, from studies of natural forms such as bones, stones, and shells, to human figures and abstract shapes. These sketchbooks illustrate Moore's fascination with organic forms and his ability to translate these inspirations into three-dimensional works. They also provide a glimpse into his thought process, showing how he experimented with different compositions, perspectives, and techniques.

One of the most notable aspects of Moore's sketchbooks is their role in the development of his thematic preoccupations. For instance, his exploration of the reclining figure, a motif that recurs throughout his career, can be traced back to numerous sketches and studies. Similarly, his interest in the interplay between internal and external spaces is evident in his detailed drawings of draped figures and hollowed-out forms.

The sketchbooks also highlight Moore's interdisciplinary approach, as he often drew inspiration from various sources, including literature, mythology, and the visual arts. His sketches sometimes include annotations and references to other artists, indicating his engagement with the broader artistic and cultural context of his time.

In addition to their artistic value, Moore's sketchbooks are of historical significance. They document his responses to contemporary events, such as the impact of World War II, which is poignantly captured in his series of shelter drawings. These works, depicting Londoners taking refuge in the Underground during the Blitz, are among his most powerful and evocative drawings.

Overall, Henry Moore's sketchbooks are a testament to his versatility and depth as an artist. They provide a comprehensive overview of his creative journey, from initial concept to finished sculpture, and underscore his enduring legacy in the world of art.
