Which materials did Henry Moore use most often for his sculptures after World War II?

Following World War II, the material Henry Moore used most frequently for his sculptures was bronze.1

Although he became widely known for these bronze works, Moore did not abandon traditional methods; he continued to carve in wood and stone throughout his career. Even when working with bronze, Moore maintained a carver’s approach to his process: rather than modeling in clay, he typically built his forms in plaster over a wire and wood armature, which he then cut, scraped, and chiseled using carver’s tools.1

In the mid-1960s, Moore also returned to creating stone carvings, particularly after he began spending time near the Carrara stone quarries in Italy. While he occasionally utilized other materials—such as a brick relief created for a project in Rotterdam—bronze remained the primary medium for the majority of his postwar output.1
