Subject Information	Interior Form is a sinuous female form culminating in a hammer shaped head punctured by a solitary eye. The upper torso is conceived as an open cavity that is materialized by the bronze outer shell of the sculptural form. The smoothly polished surface of this sculpture, its upright posture, and the delicacy of the open torso combine to create an elegant and sensuous form suggestive of the human essence. The concept of an interior space defined by an outline in bronze has its origins in Moore's early interest in primitive masks. It is also expressing of Jungian psychoanalytic theory, in which an outer persona is perceived as enclosing the true, inner nature. Interior Form was conceived between 1951 and 1954 and was first cast as a separate work in 1981. Nine tabletop versions were produced as well as an edition of six Large Interior Forms, one of which stands in the sculpture garden of the Art Institute of Chicago. A version of the original Internal/External Form can be seen at Three First National Plaza in Chicago. Source: www.blockmuseum.northwestern.edu/collections/moore.html
