Henry Moore Limited Edition 88 Fountain Pen

Add to Wishlist

Life without art was unimaginable for Henry Moore. His creative drive was insatiable and tireless – even up to his death at the age of 88. Henry Moore pioneerd the use of holes in sculpture as well as adding a second inner form in relation to a larger form which dominates the Edition design. The skilfully skeletonized cap and body allow the look inside of the fountain pen through "holes". One of Henry Moore´s visual trademarks is a melting of abstract organic forms with elements of the human body, thus the clip bears a visible reference to the small though significant work "Reclining figure: snake". Henry Moore died at the age of 88, which is the basis for the limitation. The nib is enriched with a fine engraving of a pair of hands inspired by the illustrations Moore made of hands.
