Over 50 years ago Henry Moore's sculpture, commonly known as 'The Archer' was unveiled at the new city hall in Toronto. At the time the feeling was one of outrage, mostly due to the cost. Moore and his sculpture became a lighting rod, a hero to some and a charlatan to most. But most importantly the event became a profound turning point in the city. With the installation of other Moore sculptures and his massive donation of works to the Art Gallery of Ontario, Moore more than any other artist changed the way Torontoians thought not only about modern art but art in general. 'The Archer' has stood the test of time to become one of the city's most loved and iconic pieces of public art. Terrific upload.
Reminds me of the hugely controversial acquisition of Pollock's "Blue Poles" by the National Gallery of Australia - also a turning point I think, in a similar way.
The City of Toronto proclaims November 13th 2024 Henry Moore Day, as the Art Gallery of Ontario's landmark Henry Moore Sculpture Centre turns 50 years old.
What a wise choice you made Phillip to start with Henry Moore. Delighted to be with you for another series but feel for you and all in the country during this second lock-down. Your daily videos will be such solace to others in this difficult time. I think that the English people will pull together over this period as we did in Australia. Life is made better by superb art and music.
The moment I realized you were back with your wonderful series, I dropped everything to hear your encouraging voice, see your lovely house and your beautiful art! Once again, you've made my day ❤️
I met Moore in 1982 at his studio.Headmasterly chap right Yorkshire.Had a huge skull and ten million plaster Maquett es in boxes all over the joint.He used to drive from building to building in Yellow rover cars.Three the same scattered.We left and got a giant smile and wave .He's a god now but then he was waning a tad then on prices.Having a lull.Nice guy talked honest and fair for short bursts over the days.Hands always working ready for work picking up putting down anything.
Green to represent bronze. I do believe you're spot on. I live just 45 miles from Washington. The Smithsonian gardens contain at lease one Moore sculpture. So very glad you are back and not least because it appears the pandemic's latest phase will make going out more dangerous than before. Can't think of s better way to while away the hours than with your delicious art presentations. Many thanks!
Oh Philp ... THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU. I've been rewatching your fist series, and all the other wonderful bits that pop up in my RUclips feed. We are, like you in England, facing a rather strict lock-down for these weeks as British Columbia--and the rest of Canada for that matter--experiences an enormous up-tick in the cases of COVID-19. Our hospitals and their staff are suffering under the strain, which we fear is only going to get worse as we slide into the darker days of winter. And so, we all need more Light in our lives ... on sorts of levels ... but particularly as we nest more at home. And thanks to you, and your beloved wife, for opening your home once again ... and thanks to your team for so beautifully capturing your series as you share life-giving insights and personal reflections on the work of so many artists--many who have already gone on ahead of us--but who's work and memory continue to bless us still.
Wonderful video. Thank you. I visited Henry Moores house in Perry Green, Hertfordshire in 2016. Very enjoyable walking around the gardens looking at some of his sculptures in a beautiful setting. Will have to revisit soon.
I was so happy to see your return. I never really came out of lockdown, and am still w/o my husband. I remember a Henry Moore show at the Belvedere in Florence in the 70's. Probably before your time, but it was spectacular.
Very sad for round two of isolation. Fantastically happy for round two of exploring the art in your home and hearing your expert commentary. Be safe and well to you and your family.
stumbled into this video. A very happy find! enjoyed fake or fortune. Thank you for creating this series and also to your team who are making it with you!
I love that you are back with us Philip. I’m so happy you showed us your Henry Moore. In Canada 🇨🇦 we are lucky to have a great collection of his work including many drawings as well as his sculptures at the AGO. I also love the green in your work. You maybe right with the idea of the bronze patina. It’s a stunning piece. My guess for the next artist is Kathie Kollwitz?
Henry Moore's drawings are some of my most beloved. Yours is a monumental gem, thank you for sharing. Speaking of beloved, ah....Gwen John. I cannot wait to see the next episode.
Ahhh Philip so glad you’re back. I really enjoy hearing the stories about your wonderful art. I love hearing how a piece came into your collection, artist information, history and not just your enjoyment but your wife’s too. Oliver does a great job bringing these stories to life. Watching from my Chicago condo as we get our first snow.
so pleased to see the series return and the very first thing I thought when I saw that green was a patina , extraordinary that it's captured in a drawing
As you say standing back from artwork makes you see things in a totally different light. The power is in the simplicity I think. Learning a lot from your critiques. Thank you for posting.
Thanks Philip for kicking off series II. I hope that it won't be a third. Next time please call it 'Art in social gathering'. You, family and all followers stay healthy. Andre from germany.
Such a pleasure to see you back again in these surroundings. A pity about the circumstances, but a good time of year to take stock and reflect. Thank you.
Thank you, thank you, thank you, from the bottom of my heart! These programs bring such pleasure to me and truly do make me feel the richness of a bigger life, beyond this strange year.
Thankyou Philip Mould. I live on 43 acres in the Hunter Valley, New South Wales in Australia and I do enjoy your series very much. Sometimes I feel isolated , even though we have not had any Covid cases in our area. I need an uplifting art video to help me feel connected to the arts.
I’m so glad that you have returned. I’m sorry that we are all under lockdown, but I appreciate your help in keeping me sane, and stimulating my grey cells. Thank you, and stay safe and healthy.
thanks for bringing back Art in Isolation, such a memorable and enjoyable part of lockdown. I am thinking that the hands featured in the next picture are by Gwen John. They seem so similar to "The Convalescent", a painting in the Fitzwilliam Museum that I have visited over and over during the last 20 years
So pleased with myself - I got to the green highlighting before Phillip said it ... This is a wonderful series for so many reasons - the artwork, the analysis, the extremely interesting house, lovely garden, countryside ... Thank you Philip and Oliver!,
Fabulous. Thank you for sharing. As always I then research your presented artists! I am enjoying learning so much about art AND how to articulate what I am viewing. Awesome job Philip and Oliver.
Thank you Phillip. I learn so much from your videos. I love the history and stories you tell about the works of art. You make me look at them differently.
Really pleased to see there's a second series, thank you! My guess is Jeanne Mammen. Edit: oh dear, I was wrong. Never mind. What better way to get to know the works of artists you've not yet been familiarised with...
Delighted to get an email today informing me we have a 2nd. season of ART IN ISOLATION. Dare I say I adore Philip Mould and everything surrounding him in the English countryside. What a treat during such hard times! Keep going. Please. Kim from PA.
A wonderful little gem 💎 of a painting dear Philip ....we have a Henry Moore here in Melbourne National Gallery Of Victoria in the Court yard ....your painting is exquisite and at the fore of his career as a young artist. Wonderful to know that you are a dedicated purveyor of beauty always rejoicing in the distinctive pieces in your superb collection......thank you for taking us through your inviting home 🧡 love and kisses to Cedric 💋🍓💋🥰
Hi,thanks for interesting video,I loved it.It is looks sad hands ,somehow it remembers Picasso in blue period in his life paintings.It can be a his scatch.
I'll kick myself when I discover who the artist is. Sorry for your second lock down and hoping you have had a degree of freedom to meet up with family and friends over the Christmas period. It is greatly appreciated having these little motifs of your works of art, so comfortable looking home and dear Cedric. Off I hop to the next episode of this super series. Stay safe. Margaret from Western Australia (where life is still pretty normal within closed borders).
I am so glad you are back (insert sigh here)- I believe we are all in the homestretch with this plague and we just need to keep focused , keep our marbles and this is one way that helps me do it:) So yes, a nice thing to wake up to here in Victoria BC Canada and seeing this thank you :)
Naomi Parfitt yes thought it might be her, always felt she was rather overshadowed by her brother, not to mention his antics, although so talented in her own right
I love this drawing. Personally, drawing will always be my first love. Something about breaking things down to the most basic lines and shapes. Looking forward to your next video
I enjoyed this in particular as I come from Leeds and as a young child the works of Henry Moore were the first real art works I saw and remember Thank you👍
Utterly brilliant. Out of lockdown, but no less valuable and appreciated.

Thank you for sharing this information!
Reminds me of the hugely controversial acquisition of Pollock's "Blue Poles" by the National Gallery of Australia - also a turning point I think, in a similar way.
We have a Henry Moore sculpture in front of our city hall in Dallas. Sadly it is unappreciated and was damaged by homeless people a few years ago.
The City of Toronto proclaims November 13th 2024 Henry Moore Day, as the Art Gallery of Ontario's landmark Henry Moore Sculpture Centre turns 50 years old.
I am so sorry for your second lockdown. The bright side of it is the return of Art in Isolation! Thank you and take care!

Absolutely wonderful that you're doing a second series. Great to see these fascinating pieces of work and to hear Philip talk about them.
It‘s great to see this series return. Too bad about the circumstances, though...
So glad you’re back. I missed this series so much.
I delighted ...series2. Can’t wait. Many thanks from Calgary Canada 🇨🇦

What a pleasant surprise! I look forward to enjoying the rest of the series.
This series really has made me feel a bit better, glad to see it return as the isolations start up again
As you say standing back from artwork makes you see things in a totally different light. The power is in the simplicity I think. Learning a lot from your critiques. Thank you for posting.

Always a pleasure Philip
Your wife is a smart cookie hiding Moore from the bailiff 😁
Your...belonging to you, you’re contraction of you are, not being picky!
@@Pete-z6e not picky
at times it auto corrects and I don’t notice 😁 plus I have poor eyesight 😅
Welcome back...thank you for taking the time to share your home and paintings with us..again..
Thank you for coming back! I really needed this today.
Thankyou Philip Mould. I live on 43 acres in the Hunter Valley, New South Wales in Australia and I do enjoy your series very much. Sometimes I feel isolated , even though we have not had any Covid cases in our area. I need an uplifting art video to help me feel connected to the arts.

Welcome back Philip Mould
From your house thats so old
To comfort us with your art
While we must all stay apart
Well that's art for you!
Delightful poetry!
Thank you with all my heart.
I agree about a drawing being as important as an oil painting. Great to see ancient art being referenced - we do strive for that excellence
Bravo yet again!
So enjoyable; thank you. What a wonderful environment you have created.
It is wonderful being inside your house and inside your mind. Great escape. Thank you. Best wishes to you and your people.
So sorry for your lockdown. Delighted to have more Art in Isolation but will settle for series 3 being made in a plague free environment.
From your mouth to G’s ear.
fantastic as always, i have missed seeing the art and Cecil.... thank you stay safe can't wait for the next episode
@PM never stop doing this!
Really pleased to see there's a second series, thank you!
My guess is Jeanne Mammen. Edit: oh dear, I was wrong. Never mind. What better way to get to know the works of artists you've not yet been familiarised with...
Just discovered these! Will happily check them all out now. Thank you!

I normally don’t like this type of drawing but the green was pleasing and like all great art the longer one looks at it the more appealing it becomes
Hi,thanks for interesting video,I loved it.It is looks sad hands ,somehow it remembers Picasso in blue period in his life paintings.It can be a his scatch.
Can't wait for next episodes. You both do an outstanding job. Thanks for that.
Fascinating. Thank you. Coming to this series a long time after covid but enjoying it hugely.

The painting is by Gwen John I’m pretty sure - and I think the subject is Marie Hamonet. Also thanks for doing the second series of art in isolation!!
Naomi Parfitt yes thought it might be her, always felt she was rather overshadowed by her brother, not to mention his antics, although so talented in her own right
Gwen John was my first thought also, looking at those hands. We will know soon.
This one reminded me of Matisse .
Exactly, I was thinking of this from the first stance of this drawing. Very simple, but powerfull
I love you’re programs Philip and Oliver please keep going.
The photography is looking really good now. Congrats to all involved!
Oh - Gwen John!
What a treat -thank you for sharing this fantastic Moore drawing -and for your series!
Cedric: "Hey, I've been a "reclining nude" my whole life and I never get any credit!"
I love this drawing. Personally, drawing will always be my first love. Something about breaking things down to the most basic lines and shapes. Looking forward to your next video
so glad you are back. You shine a light
I enjoyed this in particular as I come from Leeds and as a young child the works of Henry Moore were the first real art works I saw and remember Thank you👍
