The latter is in stone and the former in bronze, adding to their overall effects. The Chac Mool also seems more angular, as the figure has more straight lines than the Moore bronze.
5. What are the most obvious similarities between her sculptures and Henry Moores sculptures.
In general, Barbara Hepworth's collection is less representative and more abstract than Henry Moore's. Moore appreciates the use of figures and has drawn heavily from indigenous arts like the Chac Mool stone statue. Few of Hepworth's pieces are representative or anthropomorphic.

The Art Gallery of Ontario collection of Henry Moore works includes several abstract pieces. Some of Moore's figures border on the abstract like the Reclining Figure at Cambridge.
Moore's oval series such as the Double Oval and Oval with Points at the Henry Moore Foundation demonstrates remarkable similarities to Hepworth's sculpture. Hepworth does include several oval forms in her portfolio such as a bronze one from 1964. Hepworth and Moore both use negative and positive space in their respective oval and sphere sculptures. They worth their media around empty space by creating holes inside the ovals and spheres. Hepworth's Spheres with Inner Form like the ones at the Kroller-Muller Museum and the one at Cornwall are similar to Moore's ovals, although Hepworth uses a greater variety of sculpting media (including marble and wood) than Moore does.

In essence the Cubists were not only concerned with the development of new artistic techniques, but their experimentation was also concerned with the search for a new and more dynamic perception of reality. As one commentator notes; "The Cubists sought to create spatial abstractions" (the AESTHETIC). As has been stated, Cubism depicts a new reality which was also in essence a form of protest against conventional ideas of both art
Cubism and Sculpture Cubism as an artistic style and movement began as a revolt against the traditions and the artistic norms of previous centuries. Cubist painters and sculptors like Picasso rejected many of the formally accepted elements of art. These elements included texture, color, subject matter, light as a means of determining form as well as movement and atmosphere. The rejection of representation was also a major aspect of the
