Barbara Hepworth is one of the most important artists of the 20th
century, yet she has been the subject of relatively few monographs
in comparison to her male counterparts. This biography moves beyond
the traditional narratives of modernism, truth to materials, and
the landscape to provide a penetrating insight into Hepworth’s
remarkable life, work and legacy. Barbara Hepworth was reproached
for single-mindedness in her lifetime, with critics and
commentators framing both the artist and her work as ‘cool and
restrained’. A continued focus on her modernist abstract
sculpture of the 1930s and its relation to her male contemporaries
has left vast swathes of her work and related passions overlooked.
This fully illustrated biography reflects for the first time
Hepworth’s multi-faceted, interdisciplinary and networked
approach, shedding light as never before 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 one
coherent and inspirational philosophy of art and life. With 178
illustrations
