About the artwork

The strong colours and bold lines in this work is characteristic of Hepworth's style. Her work was abstract in both form and colour but demonstrated an interest in the natural world and organic cycles.

ABOUT THE ARTIST

Dame Barbara Hepworth (1903–1975) was a painter, printmaker, and pioneer of abstract sculpture. Although her distinctive style was abstract, the forms and shapes in her work were based on observation of the natural world such as the Cornish landscape and motherhood, rather than mystic or romantic themes. Born in Wakefield, Yorkshire, during the Second World War she moved to St Ives, Cornwall, where she became especially active in the Modernist artist movement. She remained in the area, and was awarded the Freedom of St Ives in 1968 as an acknowledgement of her importance to the town, along with friend and fellow artist Bernard Leech. She donated a number of her works to Tate. Her Trewyn Studio is now the Barbara Hepworth Museum and Sculpture in St Ives, and her second studio, The Palais de Danse, is being renovated to reimagine the building as a community-focused heritage site that continues to expand on Hepworth’s extraordinary legacy.
