A continued focus on her modernist abstract sculpture of the 1930s and its relation to her male contemporaries has left vast swathes of her work and related passions overlooked.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThis fully illustrated biography reflects for the first time Hepworth's multi-faceted, interdisciplinary, and networked approach, shedding light as never before on her interests in music, dance, poetry, contemporary politics, science, and technology. It explores her engagement with these fields through friends and networks as well as her artistic practice, and it examines the ways in which she synthesised sometimes seemingly conflicting disciplines and ideas into one coherent and inspirational philosophy of art and life.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eWith 178 illustrations\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Thames and Hudson (Australia) Pty Ltd","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46832405774572,"sku":"9780500094259","price":60.99,"currency_code":"NZD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0705\/7784\/8556\/files\/763453482366.jpg?v=1758386246"},{"product_id":"forbidden-territories-by-eleanor-clayton-9780500028032","title":"Forbidden Territories","description":"\u003cdiv class=\"book-description\"\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished to mark the centenary of Surrealism, this publication offers a new perspective on one of the most famous art movements with pioneering new research on its links with ecology and with politics.\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe development of Surrealism in the 1920s and 30s coincided with that of important new research and knowledge in the sciences, notably in biology. \u003ci\u003eForbidden Territories\u003c\/i\u003e explores the unexamined interplay between Surrealism and life science, including the mutual influence of Sigmund Freud, illuminating how Surrealist strategies draw the eye to the astonishing aspects of scientific data and knowledge of the landscape, in ways that are prescient, even revelatory, in the present.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe book further looks at the role of international conflict within Surreal landscapes and how these terrains became a vehicle for political statements and dissent.
