This intelligent and even elegant work appears to come off the page as its own sculptural form. Finished in 1982, Henry Moore used charcoal and ballpoint pen on cream, lightweight, wove paper to create Sculptural Form. It is signed in the lower left by Moore in pencil. Having been diagnosed with acute arthritis and chronic diabetes, physical ailments did not hinder Moore's artistic productivity; in fact, this period in his later years inspired him to re-think different mediums of art making as he begun to experiment with charcoal sketching. Such experiments can be seen with this particular piece as Moore "[held] his charcoal sketches under cold running water…[and] saw that the charcoal was dispersed over the entire page, giving a kind of nacreous sheen" (Garrould ix) . These techniques enabled him to successfully translate the medium of sculpture onto a 2-dimensional plane, allowing him to manipulate light with shading and the malleability of the medium of charcoal.
