What: Reclining Nude (1947) by Henry Moore (English, 1898-1986)

Where to find it: IU Art Museum, Post-1800 Western collection.

Why you should care: Moore is a notable 20th-century sculptor and this is one of two of his works at the IU Art Museum. This figure is made of Hornton stone, a type with rough, organic texture. The reclining figure is simplified, reduced to basic shapes and contours.
