This looks more like the work of Paolozzi than Henry Moore, but I have always found this series of reliefs interesting.
Moore was a very good sculptor pre-1940, but after that I find his sculpture rather repetitive and much less interesting.
Post-1940, I probably prefer his drawings, which at times were superb.
