Colour 102: Moore’s Tints and Tones
In the early 1930s, the influential arts group known as the Seven and Five Society, initially comprised of seven painters and five sculptors, began exhibiting together in London. At its centre was Henry Moore, most famous as a sculptor but also known for his drawings, along with fellow sculptor Barbara Hepworth, and a group of painters that included Ben Nicolson and Frances Hodgkins. Eschewing the figurative, they made modernist abstract works influenced by ethnographic art and natural forms.
At George Street Linen, we’ve been deeply inspired by the Seven and Five Society's distinctive colour palette—a clever combination of tints and tones—and their abstract shapes and patterns. This inspiration led us to design a stunning collection that pays homage to their artistic vision.
