This biography moves beyond the traditional narratives of modernism, truth to materials, and the landscape to provide a penetrating insight into Hepworth's remarkable life, work, and legacy.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eBarbara Hepworth was reproached for single-mindedness in her lifetime, with critics and commentators framing both the artist and her work as 'cool and restrained'. 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","url":"https:\/\/bookhero.pro\/products\/barbara-hepworth-by-eleanor-clayton-9780500094259","provider":"Book Hero","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
