Arms and Armour Curator (and co-curator of the exhibition), Dr Tobias Capwell takes us on a special tour of the Henry Moore: Helmet Heads exhibition.
The exhibition was open from 6 March – 23 Jun 2019 and was the first major exhibition to explore the great twentieth-century British sculptor’s fascination with armour. Ground-breaking new research revealed that Moore’s long relationship with the Wallace Collection directly inspired the creation of his celebrated Helmet Head sculptures, which were shown here together for the very first time. Presented in collaboration with the Henry Moore Foundation, the exhibition uncovered the previously unknown role of specific helmets and armour from the Wallace Collection in influencing Moore’s ideas and creations.
