Figure in a Shelter - Fort Worth, TX - Abstract Public Sculptures on Waymarking.com

"Figure in a Shelter is a work from the artist’s last creative phase, produced just three years before his death. Its forms, however, go back to sculptural ideas Moore first explored in the 1930s. The “shelter” that surrounds the figure within has its origins in a helmet-like head that Moore conceived about 1939–40, a shape in turn based on ancient armor. Greatly expanded, the two halves of the “helmet” become an enfolding architectural protection for the small, upright form, whose expanding and contracting columnar shape suggests a human body."
