Diana Moore: Sculpture

During the past decade, Diana Moore has made both life-size and monumentally-scaled figurative sculptures. Although charged with art historical associations, Moore's sculptures are undeniably sensuous, intuitive, and connected with the artist's singular perception of nature. Moore's sculptures are made of reinforced cast concrete and supported by steel bases. They are based upon the artist's own body and features but are developed to include a variety of references and sources drawn from other times and different cultures. While she views her figures with a detached perceptiveness, she is able to suggest some intense inner vision and thus achieve a psychologically charged relationship with her audience. Moore's sculptures are arresting in their physical realism; her work embodies a respect for and sound knowledge of the human body. This is the artist's first solo museum exhibition. It includes eight works: a series of life-size heads and torsos, as well as three monumentally-scaled heads and two studies for an outdoor sculpture. The exhibition and its accompanying catalogue has been organized and written by Rebecca Lawton, Curator of Collections.

There are works that appeared in this exhibition that were loans to the Loeb and therefore do not appear on this website.
