A richly illustrated biography on the life and work of Barbara Hepworth, one of the twentieth century's most inspiring artists and a pioneer of modernist sculpture. Barbara Hepworth is one of the most important artists of the twentieth century, and her organic sculptures have come to exemplify three-dimensional modernist art. Published at a time of increasing interest in her work, this biography moves beyond the traditional narratives of modernism to provide comprehensive insight into Hepworth's remarkable life, work, and legacy. In her lifetime, Hepworth was reproached for single-mindedness, with critics and commentators framing her work and demeanor as "cool and restrained." Moreover, most exhibitions of her work in the twentieth century focused on Hepworth's modernist abstract sculpture of the 1930s and its relation to her male contemporaries, leaving vast swathes of work overlooked, such as her largest and most significant public commission, the sculpture outside the UN building in New York. This fully illustrated biography reflects Hepworth's multifaceted and interdisciplinary approach, shedding new light on her interests in music, dance, poetry, contemporary politics, science, and technology. Author Eleanor Clayton uncovers Hepworth's engagement with these fields through friends and networks and examines how they show up in Hepworth's artistic practice, and how the artist synthesized seemingly conflicting disciplines and ideas into one coherent and inspirational philosophy of art and life.
