Red Grooms is well-known for his witty, brightly colored figurative sculptures and "sculpto-pictoramas," clever and imaginative environments that relate in some ways to movie sets and the artist’s own experiences in film production. Grooms often focuses on portraying artists, sports figures, tradesmen, and movie stars in his work with affection and humor. 'Henry Moore in a Sheep Meadow' is a humorous tribute to the famed English sculptor, who preferred his sculptures (with their horizontal, organic compositions relating to land masses) placed on sites in the rolling contours of the countryside. Here Moore has been metamorphosed into a sculpture resembling his own biomorphic style.
