The Art of Henry Moore

Produced by Illuminations, In Art of … (London, England: Illuminations Television, 2005)1 hour 1 minute

Henry Moore is arguably the greatest sculptor of the twentieth century. Born in Yorkshire in 1898, he died after an exceptionally productive career in 1986. His large-scale sculptures are centrally sited in many major cities across Europe and North America. The Art of Henry Moore aims to rediscover the artist by returning to the works themselves - his sculptures, drawings and graphics and to Moore's own thoughts about them. Archive photographs from the collection at the Henry Moore Foundation complement the artworks, newly filmed across Britain, France and the USA. Many of the artist's most significant sculptures are featured, from the earliest models of the 1920s to the monuments of his final years.

The Chicano Art Movement 

              

                                             

 

Produced by Makematic, In Untold: Arts (Londonderry, Northern Ireland: Makematic, 2020) 2 minutes.

In 1960, over 2% of the US population were Mexican-American – over three and a half million people! But many felt unwelcome in a white-dominated society, so some Mexicans born in America, known as Chicanos, turned to the arts to express their frustration and reassert their cultural identity.
