St. Ives Artists Barbara Hepworth

This series explores the life and work of major artists associated with St Ives. Barbara Hepworth's career as a sculptor spanned five decades, from 1920s to 1975. Her style developed from figurative to geometric to abstract, culminating in the grandeur of her large-scale post-war work. Her best-known work is associated with the landscape around St Ives in Cornwall, where she lived for most of her working life. Hepworth remains a central figure in twentieth-century art, and this book tells the story of her life and artistic development. It gives an up-to-date overview of the latest critical thought.
