A spellbinding portrait of the Hampstead Modernists, threading
together the lives, loves, rivalries and ambitions of a group of
artists at the heart of an international avant-garde. Hampstead in
the 1930s. In this peaceful, verdant London suburb, Barbara
Hepworth and Ben Nicholson have embarked on a love affair - a
passion that will launch an era-defining art movement. In her
chronicle of the exhilarating rise and fall of British Modernism,
Caroline Maclean captures the dazzling circle drawn into Hepworth
and Nicholson's wake: among them Henry Moore, Paul Nash, Herbert
Read, and famed emigres Walter Gropius, founder of the Bauhaus, and
Piet Mondrian, blown in on the winds of change sweeping across
Europe. Living and working within a few streets of their Parkhill
Road studios, the artists form Unit One, a cornerstone of the
Modernist movement which would bring them international renown.
Drawing on previously unpublished archive material, Caroline
Maclean's electrifying Circles and Squares brings the work, loves
and rivalries of the Hampstead Modernists to life as never before,
capturing a brief moment in time when a new way of living seemed
possible. United in their belief in art's power to change the
world, her cast of trailblazers radiate hope and ambition during
one of the darkest chapters of the twentieth century.
