Barbara Hepworth is a major British artist of the twentieth century. This film, The Art of Barbara Hepworth, reveals the beauty and the power of her sculptures, and the ideas which motivated her throughout her creative life. This revealing and complex exploration of Barbara Hepworth’s work features her naturalistic carvings of the 1920s and increasingly abstract sculptures of the 1930s, the ambitious post-war works in wood, stone, and bronze, her monumental public commissions, and the strikingly diverse creations of her final years.
