Following studies at Leeds College of Art and the Royal College of Art in London, Moore began carving sculpture from stone and wood in the early 1920s. His work was first publicly exhibited in a 1924 group show at London's Redfern Gallery, and the following year he traveled through Europe on a scholarship from the Royal College of Art. Moore was given his first one-artist exhibition at London's Warren Gallery in 1928 and that same year received his first public commission (West Wind, a relief carving in stone for one of the facades of the city's new Underground Railway headquarters). By the early 1930s he had been named head of the new department of sculpture at the Chelsea School of Art in London, and in 1934 the first monograph devoted to his sculpture was published, Henry Moore: Sculpture. During the early years of his career, Moore began photographing his sculptures, creating images that generally served as straightforward records of completed pieces or as documents of works in progress. Some were more dramatic, employing an unusual viewpoint or strong, raking light to emphasize a piece's particular texture: stone, wood, lead, or bronze. Moore often worked on his sculpture outdoors, and most of his photographs are set outside as well. Photography sometimes proved a useful tool in helping him decide how a work should be sited (the best height for viewing or its proximity to a grove of trees, for example). Over the years, Moore produced hundreds of photographs, creating a personal document of his long career. A selection of these images was featured in Henry Moore's Photographs of His Sculpture, an exhibition organized by the San Francisco Museum of Modern Art (1985). The Cleveland Museum of Art also owns three sculptures by Moore.
