Artist Studies 1286 : by Barbara Hepworth

ℹ️ Barbara Hepworth (1903-1975) was a British sculptor known for her pioneering contributions to modernist sculpture. Born in 1903 in Wakefield, England, she studied at Leeds School of Art and later at the Royal College of Art in London. Hepworth's sculptural work is characterized by abstract forms and a deep connection to the natural world, often inspired by the landscapes of Cornwall where she lived and worked for much of her life. She was a leading figure in the abstract art movement of the mid-20th century, alongside artists like Henry Moore. Throughout her career, Hepworth's sculptures explored themes of human relationships, spirituality, and the interplay between mass and space.
