    The Scale: At Snape Maltings, these figures stand like sentinels. Framing the flat, expansive Suffolk landscape through them highlights the contrast between the solid bronze and the airy, open marshland.

  6. The Pierced Form: Hepworth was one of the first sculptors to "hole" her work. She wanted people to look through the art to the world behind it, effectively making the landscape part of the sculpture itself.

    The Texture: The rough, tactile surface in the foreground is meant to mimic natural stone and organic weathering, bridging the gap between man-made art and the wild reeds of the River Alde.

  16. I was waiting somewhere yesterday and I noticed this #Bronze #Sculpture next to me, which looked sort of familiar. So, I looked around for a notice and by the side it said this was by the #Sculptor #BarbaraHepworth and was made in #1964. Now, Hepworth lived in #StIves in #Cornwall but she was born and educated in #Wakefield, #WestYorkshire, which happens to be where I grew up for much of my childhood. Quite a coincidence. It’s a small world.

    This week a set from July's trip to Aldeburgh, starting with this shot on a gloomy day from #SnapeMaltings of #BarbaraHepworth 's Family of Man: Ancestor I, Ancestor II, and Parent I - one of her last works.

  22. If anything ever happens to (what I think is) the last major department store on Oxford Street, I hope this lovely thing survives…

  23. The elegant curves of Barbara Hepworth's sculpture really appeal to me.

    I think I'm right in saying that her works are popular with the wider public in the UK and beyond. Perhaps viewers recognize that her unification ofthe vaguely biomorphic shape with the unambiguously modern is so appropriate for our era.

    I'm sorry to say that I have not actually seen this 1951-1952 work, "Image". Is it in Tate Modern at London or at St Ives?

  24. Barbara Hepworth didn’t just make sculptures. She is famous for drawings, too. Her most famous drawings are of surgeons at work, focusing on their hands, after her daughter was in hospital in 1944. She befriended a surgeon, who allowed her to watch surgeons at work, after which she produced about 80 drawings.

  25. As we celebrate the 75th anniversary of the #NHS, if you've never seen them, you should check out #BarbaraHepworth's amazing Hospital Drawings (made around the birth of he NHS) & partly prompted by her own family's experience with #hospitals in the 1940s/50s.

    Her #drawings are a wonderful meditation on #surgery & its depiction...

  26. Here's a #postcard used by Southampton University at some point 1993-2008 to thank donors to a fundraising campaign.

    Its strategy is now simply called "An excellent future" so clearly the previous version - "Towards an Excellent Future" - succeeded in getting the university there.

    The sculpture is Two Figures by Barbara Hepworth
