#NOWNESSpicks: Discover rare archive footage exploring the iconic British sculptor Barbara Hepworth's inner world 🪨⁠ ⁠ As the focal point of her creative and personal worlds since 1939, Hepworth’s imprint on St Ives played a hugely influential role in expanding its artistic landscape⁠ ⁠ During her years in the Cornish town, the sculptor centered her craft from workshop and former residence, Trewyn Studio – now the Barbara Hepworth Museum and Sculpture Garden – creating a vast collection of work that secured her status as one of Britain’s modernist greats⁠ ⁠ Working in abstraction and figuration, and manifested through sculpture and paint, drawing and prints, her singular vision cultivated an extensive multimedia archive, now on display in a major retrospective at Tate St Ives, 'Barbara Hepworth: Art & Life'⁠ ⁠ In this largely unseen footage, featured as part of the exhibition, Hepworth invites cameras inside her studio, detailing her tactile craft and authentic process through experiments with living materials⁠ ⁠ Barbara Hepworth Art & Life continues at Tate St Ives until 1 May 2023⁠ ⁠ Credit: Footage showing the fabrication of Single Form at Pollards Foundry, London, and Hepworth at work in her Palais and Trewyn studios in St Ives. From ‘This Week in Britain’, presented by Ann Forsythe, 1964. Tate Library. © Barbara Hepworth⁠ ⁠ @tate @TateStIves⁠ ⁠ Tap the link in bio to watch the full clip on NOWNESS📲
