Barbara Hepworth, the amazing sculptor, reminds me of Bette Davis in her photos. Katherine Hepburn would surely be the perfect person to play her in a biopic. She is the original influencer. I can imagine her instagram account because she looks incredible in every picture that is taken of her. How did she do it? Have three children, two marriages, a stellar sculpture career, and always look so beautiful and intelligent. Barbara - please tell me your secret.
I have been reminded of Hepworth during my trip to Cornwall.
Sarah, Tim and I visited Barbara Hepworth's house and sculpture garden in St. Ives. It was an amazingly inspirational place
Here's a photo of Hepworth working in her studio.
Here's her sculpture garden today.
Because what I love drawing and painting I was surprised to find these works but Barbara Hepworth in a variety of styles.
Here's a self portrait
This dancer (a surprising work by Hepworth) reminds me of my redhead sketches of Ia.
A portrait she did.
These women remind me a bit of Picasso.
I also found some landscape paintings
I was so pleased to find a textile design by Hepworth.
Drawings for sculpture.
Whimsical works
I love this previsualization for a sculpture. I want to do this for my tall ships idea.
And this is the sculpture
