Barbara Hepworth, a matter of form

Embodying Barbara Hepworth's investigations of abstraction and the body, 'A Matter of Form' includes works in a range media - from bronze and marble to mahogany and aluminum - as well as sculptures from across Hepworth's thematic range - such as relationships between mother and child, man and nature, and the individual to the group. The impact of Hepworth's ongoing commitment to the "direct carving" technique stands out throughout the exhibition. Rather than traditional casting, "direct carving" allowed Hepworth to pursue profound spiritual connections with her material. --
