Hepworth, Barbara: Artist Profile
Barbara Hepworth, along with Henry Moore and Ben Nicholson, was at the center of a group of artists who created a revolutionary new approach to European abstract sculpture of the 1930s. Characterized by highly simplified, organic forms, with affinities to the work of Moore and Hans Arp, Hepworth's abstractions are imbued with a dignified presence that has often been compared with the serene power of classical sculpture.
