Course overview
Course description
Nature and natural processes were at the core of Barbara Hepworth’s seven-decade sculptural practice. Yet were her sculptures unique re-creations of landscape or embodiments of nature itself? In this illustrated lecture, Chantal Condron explores significant moments and artworks in the development of her practice, to reach a closer understanding of how Hepworth created artworks that became icons of British art. We will trace the development of Hepworth’s practice over six decades, and discover how her work was inspired by the natural world. Looking at materials and processes that she worked with; and associations she made often with repeated subjects, we will look at how her dynamic artworks came to define the century in which she lived.
