Henry Moore (English, 1898 - 1986) Textile Designs

This week, I'm trying to go back to doodling using pens and pencils instead of thread, and it hasn't been the easiest thing... This textile design by Henry Moore is a good reminder of how fun and playful it should be..


Caterpillar and Insect Wings, 1947 - Serigraphy in 3 colors on rayon, 330 x 650mm


These other two might be less playful yet they are very lose which I envy:


Four Heads, Half Figures and Animal, c. 1946 - Serigraphy in 7 colors on rayon 320 x 720mm




Figures and Symbols, Page from a Design Notebook, 1943 - 203 x 165mm

  1. I have such a hard time using pen and paper these days too. Hope you have some images to share soon of yours. I keep thinking I should do a doodle series ...

  2. Maybe we should think of a joint project...? It's been a bit of a struggle, rather intimidating actually - I didn't realize it had been a while since I drew anything..:)
