[DE] Bronze-Skulptur "Large Vertebrae" von Henry Moore (1898-1986) vor der LBS in Münster.

Münster Marketing der Stadt Münster über die Skulptur:
"Der britische Künstler Henry Moore sah die Plastik als eine Kunst des Freiraums an, die Tageslicht braucht und am besten in der freien Landschaft zur Geltung kommt. Die drei Teile der Bronzeplastik Vertebrae, die nah, aber doch unverbunden nebeneinander stehen, vermitteln in ihrer harmonischen Glätte den Eindruck, von der Natur selbst geformt zu sein. Eingebettet in eine grüne Gartenlandschaft wird das Erlebnis moderner Kunst an eine positive Naturerfahrung gekoppelt. Auf diese Weise kommuniziert die Skulptur direkt mit dem Betrachter – ohne Umweg über religiös oder gesellschaftlich geprägte Symbole."

[EN] Bronze sculpture "Large Vertebrae" by Henry Moore (1898-1986) in front of the LBS-building in Münster.

Münster Marketing of Stadt Münster about the sculpture:
"The British artist Henry Moore regarded sculpture as a kind of art best seen in daylight, in open space. The three parts of Vertebrae, a bronze sculpture, are close to each other, but not connected. Their harmonic smoothness conveys the impression that they have been shaped by nature itself. Set in garden greenery, the experience of modern art is coupled with a positive experience of nature. Thus, the sculpture communicates directly with the viewer – without detouring through religious or socially stamped symbols."
