Dancing Figures is a rare and early linocut from 1921, which came to light among other previously unseen works in the exhibition Henry Moore and The Challenge of Architecture, orginised by the Henry Moore Foundation in 2005.
This linocut was created as an idea for an architectural frieze and conveys a sense of movement and dynamism among the stylized figures, giving a clear insight into Moore's creative process at a time when he started his earliest explorations of architectural concepts.
The present linocut is not recorded in the four-volume catalogue raisonné of Moore's graphic work where the earliest recorded print dates from 1930. There are only three known impressions of this linocut.
