Hint:

Remember these facts about Henry Moore's Locking Piece: \[ \boxed{ \begin{aligned} \text{Artist} &\rightarrow \text{Henry Moore}, \text{Master Model} &\rightarrow \text{Direct Plaster}, \text{Surface} &\rightarrow \text{Worked with Sculpting Tools}, \text{Bronze} &\rightarrow \text{Cast from the Plaster Master}. \end{aligned} } \] Mnemonic: “Moore $\rightarrow$ Plaster $\rightarrow$ Tools $\rightarrow$ Bronze Cast Later.”

Answer 1

The Correct Option is D

Concept: Locking Piece is a well-known work by Henry Moore. The plaster master cast was created directly in plaster, where Moore developed the characteristic surface textures by working the material with specialized sculpting tools. The plaster master itself is not made of bronze; bronze versions were produced later through casting.

Step 1: Examine each statement. \[ \begin{aligned} A. &\ \text{Incorrect. The plaster master cast is not made of bronze.} B. &\ \text{Correct. }\textit{Locking Piece}\text{ was created by Henry Moore.} C. &\ \text{Correct. The master sculpture was built directly in plaster.} D. &\ \text{Correct. The surface textures were developed using sculpting tools.} \end{aligned} \]

Step 2: Identify the correct statements. The correct statements are \[ \boxed{B,\ C,\ \text{and}\ D} \] Hence, \[ \boxed{\text{(D)}} \]
