Moore held a teaching position at the Chelsea School of Art, until its relation to Northampton during the outbreak of the Second World War. Moore was hired as a war artist, and often slept in the London Underground to escape dangerous activity above ground. In 1940 after his home was hit with shrapnel, Moore and his wife moved to a farmhouse in the Hoglands. Moore remained in this location for the rest of his life, developing an extensive studio and workshop.</p>

      <p class="wow fadeInLeft" data-wow-delay=".4s">In 1946 Moore’s wife gave birth to a girl, Mary. Moore soon produced a series of “Mother and Child” compositions, in response to his first-born. While Moore enjoyed fatherhood, he was busy with commissions in Paris, Oslo and Chicago among other cities. In 1951 Moore rejected knighthood, but became a trustee of the Tate Gallery and the first president of the Turner Society.</p>
