Image description

From 1940 Moore began to document the crowds sheltering in the London Underground during the Blitz. Describing the conditions he witnessed as ‘the most pathetic, sordid, & disheartening sight’, Moore sought to capture the claustrophobia and anxiety that so appalled and fascinated him through intricate, intense layers of scratchy lines.
