Henry Moore on the Move
On a chilly morning on the last Friday in June, we moved Henry Moore’s ‘Three Piece Reclining Figure No.2: Bridge Prop’ from its temporary position in Parkinson Court to a new outdoor home in Chancellor’s Court.
As you can see, it was quite an operation! The 1963 bronze landed smoothly within a suite of Grade II-listed buildings - designed by Chamberlin, Powell & Bon at exactly the same time as Moore created his sculpture - where you can now experience it as part of The University of Leeds Public Art Audio Trail.
In an excerpt from the Audio Trail, Laura Bruni, Curator of Exhibitions at the Henry Moore Foundation, explains the work's significance in Moore's artistic development.
‘Three Piece Reclining Figure No.2: Bridge Prop’ is on long-term loan from Leeds Museums & Galleries via Leeds Art Fund.
Audio produced and edited by Pamela Glintenkamp for Leeds University Library Galleries.

    I agree they are stunning photos. To do that with a manual photographic film camera requires genuine skill, I speak from experience. But by today's discernment levels, they do look fake. Mostly because there is no real-world shading on the "fairies", they are completely flat.

    What really doesn’t make sense is that Iin a house that small, no parent saw the giant cut outs of fairies Frances was making? How about all the art supplies and her amazing drawing talent? It doesn’t sound right to me. Additionally, they are traipsing off with all these 18 inch long card board cutouts… no one watched them leave? The camera was expensive, are we all agreeing that the dad just gave it to Frances and didn’t even walk them to the front door? The parents were lying. They knew.

    The fairies look too perfect and still despite being “in motion”. Was Arthur Conan Doyle losing it? He saw these originals. No blur at all for the fairies when everything else is so soft or blurry?

    I recently discovered I have seven relatives buried in Woodhouse cemetery. I wanted to go lay some flowers at the graves, but your University has robbed me of the chance of doing so, destroying my families graves to make an empty field for students to relax is disgusting, you should be ashamed of yourselves. Over 95,000 people were buried there and all you did was destroy their graves for profit. People in that cemetery served in World war One and Two and put their lives on the line so we could have freedom and you go ahead and wreck their final resting place. People who fought for this country should be honoured and respected. Not disrespected the way you've disrespected them by turning their grave into a playing field for students to run riot on and play football on. Change St. George's fields name back to Woodhouse cemetery. Absolutely disgusting behaviour from a disgusting University.

    Elsie's father thought highly of Conan Doyle at one stage, but when when CD went on and on about the fairies, Mr Wright would shake his head and wonder how such an intelligent man could be manipulated by 'our Elsie, and her at the bottom of the class'. When I was 15, I used to read to my great grandmother who was bed-ridden and she loved unexplained mysteries. So I read her the Cottingley Fairies and showed her the pics. The first thing she said was 'Why don't the fairies look at the camera? Why do we only see them side on?' I'm 58 now and I always remember that.

    I cant debate the Cottingley Fairies but I will say as God is my witness,,when I was 5 years old,at Easter time I was standing on our front porch when all of a sudden a large rabbit appeared and hopped up on the porch walking on his hind legs. His fur was light grey and he was about 4 feet tall, wore black shiny shoes,his feet covered in white tight 17th century stocking's and his jacket had dress tails in the jacket which was light blue with a crochet bib and he held over his right arm (paw) a little woven basket lined with a cloth holding coloured eggs. He hopped on past me and passed on into the house out of my sight. I screamed for mother who came rushing and then did a deep search of the house .She found nothing. I never saw him again but I believe in fairies just like most of the people in Iceland do who have protected area for save living terrain for them to dwell safely from human traffic.

      Frances Griffiths did indeed claim that the fifth and final photograph was genuine. She admitted faking the others with Elsie, but claimed that she had taken the last one without any paper cutout figures. She also said that she really had seen fairies by Cottingley Beck when she was alone. Elsie Hill (née Wright) disputed Frances's claim and said she had taken the final photograph herself as a double exposure on a day when Frances was absent. It is a fascinating story in itself, tied up with the complicated relationship between the two women, whose lives had been overshadowed by the story of the fairies. It is one of the many facets of the story that it was not possible to explore in the time available.
