Henry Spencer Moore OM CH FBA, (30 July 1898 – 31 August 1986) was an English artist and sculptor. He is best known for his abstract monumental bronzes which can be seen in many places around the world as public works of art. Moore's subjects are usually abstractions of the human figure, typically mother-and-child or reclining figures.
Apart from a phase of family groups in the 1950s, his subject matter is
nearly always female. Characteristically, Moore's figures are pierced,
or contain hollow places. Many interpret the undulating form of his
reclining figures as references to the landscape and hills of Yorkshire
where Moore was born.

The son of a mining engineer, Moore was born in Castleford, Yorkshire.
Moore became well-known for his larger-scale abstract cast bronze and
carved marble sculptures. Substantially supported by the British art
establishment, Moore helped to introduce a particular form of modernism
to the United Kingdom. His ability to satisfy large-scale commissions
made him exceptionally wealthy towards the end of his life. However, he
lived frugally and most of his wealth went to endow the Henry Moore Foundation, which continues to support education and promotion of the arts.

Sculptor (constellation)

Sculptor is a minor southern constellation which was introduced by Nicolas Louis de Lacaille. He originally named it after a sculptor's studio, but the name was later shortened.

As it was introduced during the 17th century, there is no mythology associated with it.

The constellation contains the Sculptor Dwarf, a dwarf galaxy which is a member of the Local Group, as well as the Sculptor Group, the group of galaxies closest to the Local Group. The Sculptor Galaxy (NGC 253), a barred spiral galaxy and the largest member of the group, lies near the border between Sculptor and Cetus. Another prominent member of the group is the irregular galaxy NGC 55.
