About the work

In 1943 Zika Ascher, the London-based Czech textile manufacturer, encouraged Henry Moore to start making designs for fabric. Ascher’s aim was to create innovative textiles for the post-war world, based on contemporary art. The design for this fabric appears in the first of four sketchbooks that Moore filled with ideas for dress and furnishing fabrics, and its loose linearity echoes the studies for sculptures he was making at this time.
