Henry Moore was born in England, the seventh of ten children, to a coal miner who taught himself enough mathematics to
enable him to become manager of the mine in which he worked. Moore always liked the art lessons given at school and he
decided to become a sculptor when he was eleven years old and heard in Sunday school a story
about
Michelangelo. Moore
himself says that he owes a great
deal to an art teacher in elementary school who encouraged him as much as she could.
"A good picture is equivalent to a good deed."
