Perry Green

It was a beautiful day in Perry Green where Henry Moore rented Hoglands in September 1940 to escape the bombing of Hampstead and stayed there for the rest of his life, gradually adding to the property and buying land on which to display his sculpture, now with a large public facility (closed in winter) next door:-

This is the house, not exactly what one expects of a world-famous artist, with its 1960s extension from which to survey work in the garden:-

Three Piece Reclining Figure Draped:-

    I love it there. For anyone who hasn’t been it is well worth booking a tour of the house. It’s that nice mix of feeling very homely but with serious works of art on the walls/surfaces. A similar feel to Farleys House, the home of Lee Miller and Roland Penrose.
