I had in mind when making it that it should be placed out of doors in relation to nature. I think the caption should be ‘Sculpture in Landscape – Standing Man’.
Henry Moore quoted in ‘Art Today’, World Student News, Prague 1955, No.4, Vol.9, p.7
These [the double heads] would be staring out into space. It’s as though the back head is helping the front head to look in that direction. You double up as it were.
