Image description

Creator: Moore, Henry Spencer (1898-1986) Ghost-like women and children preparing to sleep in an underground station, Belsize Park Station, London, 1940. Henry Spencer Moore was a world renowned sculptor and British official war artist. His 'shelter drawings', made between 1940 and 1941, are regarded as some of the best examples of the War Artists Advisory Committee scheme. A retrospective of his commissioned work for the committee, who purchased 28 pieces, was held at the Imperial War Museum in London in 1976.
