| 説明 | Per Wikipedia:"'King and Queen' is a bronze sculpture by Henry Moore, designed in 1952. It depicts two figures, one male and one female, seated beside each other on a bench, both facing slightly to the left. It is Moore's only sculpture depicting a single pair of adult figures. Moore's records suggest it was originally known as Two Seated Figures.Ten bronze casts of the 11-inch high maquette were cast in 1952. Five bronze casts of the 65-inch high full-size sculpture were made in 1953, with one further cast in 1957 and another in the 1980s, creating an edition of "5 +2" (five for sale, and two artist's copies). Examples are held by the Middelheim Open Air Sculpture Museum, Glenkiln Sculpture Park, (now removed from public view), Norton Simon Museum, Tate Gallery, MOA Museum of Art, and the Henry Moore Foundation, and the Hirshhorn Sculpture Garden.According to Moore, speaking years later, the work was inspired by double statues of male and female figures from Ancient Egypt, and by fairy tales read to his daughter Mary. Art critics have suggested links with the accession of Elizabeth II in 1952, and have identified a strikingly similar photograph of Moore and his wife Irina seated beside each other c.1952, in which Moore has one hand clenched in his lap and the other on the arm of the sofa, and Irina sits beside him with her fingers interlaced."DSC6886 |
