Bill Brandt/Henry Moore
Sainsbury Centre
University of East Anglia, Norwich

THE photographer Bill Brandt and the sculptor Henry Moore are two of the giants of 20th century British art. In their very different ways they captured the artistic and social changes that transformed Britain largely as the result of experiencing two world wars.

This major exhibition traces their parallel and intersecting careers. The two artists first crossed paths during the Second World War, when they were tasked with creating images of civilians sheltering in the London Underground during the Blitz.

This exhibition brings together almost 200 works of the two men, including significant sculpture, photographs and drawings, little-known photo collages and original colour transparencies. It reveals the interdisciplinary range of these two artists, exploring how they both responded creatively to British landscapes and communities during the turbulent times through which they lived.
