There is little doubt that British sculptor Henry Moore is among the most illustrious artists of post-World War II era. Academically trained in England, Moore's exposure to non-western art and contemporary avant-garde trends in continental Europe were equally influential. He gained initial recognition for his drawings, but gained international interest for his monumental bronzes in the 1950s. The organic character of his work, his sensitivity to materials, and his acute awareness of the relationship between object and viewer quickly emerged as hallmarks of his work.

A prolific artist, Moore created numerous large-scale works up until the time of his death at the age of eighty-eight. Bronze Form, is one of the last sculptures the artist created. The majority of Moore's monumental sculptures were designed for public viewing. Although most are horizontally oriented, due to his popular theme of the reclining figure, Bronze Form emphasizes the vertical. The columnar lower third of the work gently rises, then flares out culminating in two slightly asymmetrical, rounded forms. This is one of two works by the artist in the Frederik Meijer Gardens and Sculpture Park collection.
