    Henry Moore emerged as a pivotal figure in British modernism during the 1930s. He bridged the gap between abstraction and surrealism, uniquely combining both approaches rather than strictly adhering to either movement. By 1967, when this print was created, Moore had achieved international recognition and was considered one of Britain's most successful artists.

    The reclining figure theme allowed Moore to experiment with formal ideas while maintaining a consistent subject matter. His approach was influenced by non-Western art, particularly African and Mexican sculptures and natural forms like rocks and bones. The lithograph demonstrates Moore's masterful ability to balance abstract and figurative elements, a skill he developed throughout his career.

    By the 1970s, Moore's work was exhibited in approximately forty shows annually worldwide. His influence on British modernism made him a catalyst for younger artists and the embodiment of Modern British Art. His ability to create avant-garde work that was accessible to the public contributed to his lasting impact on 20th-century sculpture.
