#NOWNESSpicks: Discover rare archive footage exploring the iconic British sculptor Barbara Hepworth's inner world đިâ
â
As the focal point of her creative and personal worlds since 1939, Hepworthâs imprint on St Ives played a hugely influential role in expanding its artistic landscapeâ
â
During her years in the Cornish town, the sculptor centered her craft from workshop and former residence, Trewyn Studio â now the Barbara Hepworth Museum and Sculpture Garden â creating a vast collection of work that secured her status as one of Britainâs modernist greatsâ
â
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'â
â
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 materialsâ
â
Barbara Hepworth Art & Life continues at Tate St Ives until 1 May 2023â
