The exhibition will explore the defining subjects of Moore's work, including the reclining figure, the iconic mother and child, abstract compositions and seminal drawings of London during the Blitz. The exhibition will assemble a group of Moore's great reclining figures carved in Elm wood, the largest number ever to be brought together. These beautiful, heavily grained works show the development of the reclining figure over the course of Moore's career. The recurring motif of the mother and child will be explored throughout the exhibition. Moore called it his 'fundamental obsession', and presented a complex vision of the maternal relationship, ranging from the nurturing bond of Mother and Child 1930-31 (Private Collection), to Suckling Child 1930 (Pallant House).

This fifteen-minute talk reveals more about this painting, which was inspired by flooded tin mines in Cornwall, where many lives were lost.
