BARBARA HEPWORTH: ART AND LIFE

Barbara Hepworth is one of the most important artists of the 20th century, yet she has been the subject of relatively few monographs. This fully illustrated biography addresses for the first time Hepworth’s multi-faceted and interdisciplinary approach, shedding light on her interests in music, dance, poetry, contemporary politics, science and technology; her engagement with these fields through friends and networks as well as her artistic practice; and the ways in which she synthesized sometimes seemingly conflicting disciplines and ideas into a coherent and inspirational philosophy of art and life.
