| | Barbara Hepworth was born in Wakefield in 1903 and attended Wakefield Girls' High School before going on to Leeds School of Art. | | | Hepworth wanted her work sited outdoors and the Yorkshire Sculpture Park provides all the space required to display her majestic Family of Man. This distinctive piece, consisting of nine individual sculptures, is set fittingly against a hillside. | | | Meanwhile, the Hepworth centenary is also being marked by an exhibition of late polished bronzes at Wakefield Art Gallery. |

| | Barbara Hepworth |
| | Born in Yorkshire in 1903, Barbara Hepworth was determined to become a sculptor despite the misgivings of her parents and the common attitude at the time that a woman studying sculpture was not to be taken seriously. | | | She was part of the generation of British artists that included Henry Moore (with whom she studied in Leeds) and Ben Nicholson (whom she married), and her sculpture explored the forms of life--especially human life--as well as those of mathematics. | | | Hammacher, who knew Barbara Hepworth for many years, has provided a highly readable, thorough, and intimate portrait of this great twentieth-century artist. |

| | Winged Figure by Barbara Hepworth 1903-1975 |
| | Gabo’s concerns were purely with geometric, constructivist forms however while in Hepworth’s work, as always, the formal idea relates to her feelings about the landscape and the figure. | | | At that time she had written how 'the strings were the tension I feel between myself and the sea, the wind and the hills' and this sense of a ‘return to nature’ in her work following her settling permanently in St. Ives is the predominant characteristic of Winged Figure as well. | | | This new technique was to have a radical effect on Hepworth’s sculpture, resulting in the kind of much airier, open forms that would have been almost impossible to undertake in stone or wood. |

| | Despite, or perhaps because of, his lack of formal training in art, Wallis is now recognised as one of the most original British artists of the twentieth-century. | | | The directness of his ‘primitive’ vision and the object-like quality of his paintings, often executed on scrap card, scrapwood or even other scrap such as bellows or marmalade jars, brought him to the attention of established avant-garde artists, Ben Nicholson and Barbara Hepworth. | | | Despite his rapid rise to fame as one of the St Ives group, he sold many of his works for a few pence or even food, and died in the poorhouse. |

| | Barbara Hepworth was born in Wakefield and attended Leeds College of Art before moving to the Royal College of Art, London, studying there at the same time as Henry Moore. | | | Together with Moore, Hepworth is most celebrated for her adherence to direct carving, whereby much of the sculpture's form is decided as it is produced, rather than beforehand in drawings and models. | | | The technique is seen to good effect in this work, carved in Ancaster stone, and dating from 1953. |
