Henry Moore’s images of people sheltering in London’s Tube during World War II are often discussed as images of strength in adversity. However, Moore’s intention was to capture human vulnerability in a time of uncertainty. When did the meaning of these images change? This lecture explores Moore’s ‘Shelter Sketchbook’, the artist’s feelings for his subjects and how, over time, the artist’s intention was lost to suit a more heroic narrative.
