Large Four Piece Reclining Figure - San Francisco, CA - Smithsonian Art Inventory Sculptures on Waymarking.com

The Smithsonian Inventory description (visit link) of this sculpture entitled "Large Four Piece Reclining Figure" envisions it's four pieces as different body parts. "Four smooth, curving pieces of bronze resembling a head, breast and shoulders, thighs, and bent legs are placed together on a rectangular base in a loose, figurative form."
but that seems to be very subjective ...or insightful. To a more casual viewer, the four figures are much more globular. Nevertheless, it is an attractive piece. The artist, Henry Moore, (1898-1986) was British and this piece is similar to many of his other pieces...although, most of those pictured on this Wikipedia page (visit link) DO seem to resemble body parts more than this work.
This piece is outside the Davies Symphony Hall.
