Description
Barbara Hepworth Art & Life by Eleanor Clayton is a comprehensive biography that sheds new light on the life and work of one of the most important artists of the twentieth century. Hepworth's organic sculptures exemplify three-dimensional modernist art, but this book moves beyond the traditional narratives of modernism to reveal a multifaceted artist with interests in music, dance, poetry, contemporary politics, science, and technology. Through friends and networks, author Eleanor Clayton uncovers Hepworth's engagement with these fields and examines how they influenced her artistic practice. This fully illustrated biography provides a fresh perspective on Hepworth's life and work, including her largest and most significant public commission, the sculpture outside the UN building in New York. With its unique approach, this biography offers a nuanced understanding of Hepworth's artistic philosophy and legacy, challenging the traditional narratives of modernism and revealing a complex and inspiring artist.
