dc.description | Side view, showing the stylized legs; During the 1960s and 1970s financial success made it possible for Moore to work on a larger scale. Between 1959 and 1964 he created a series of two- and three-piece reclining figures, culminating in his largest work of that time, the bronze Reclining Figure (1963-1965) commissioned by Lincoln Center, New York. In earlier sculptures, the human figure echoed the forms of mountains, hills and valleys; in this series the metaphor is reversed: rugged cliffs, caves, rocks and dramatic sea-worn headlands become the human body.
