Art often steers towards the two-dimensional with most thinking of paintings, print and/or photography, yet sculpture often creates the most wonder with its three dimensional aspect.

Many consider Barbara Hepworth to be the greatest female sculptor in the history of Western Art and was a massive influence and figure in British Modernism. This book details the incredible drawings and oil paintings of her work. Much of her inspiration is derived from artists, landscapes and seascapes. And this book offers an in-depth analysis of her remarkable body of work by Alan Wilkinson.

Barbar’s predominant work was in modern sculpture and here Alan covers her sculptural life studies from the late 1920s, and through five decades of Hepworth's drawing career. Key works include the few drawings for sculpture from the 1930’s, outstanding abstract drawings of the early 1940,s and later works reflecting the importance of landscape and seascape motifs to Hepworth.

When one considers sculptural form, then this book is an incredible reference for discovery and inspiration.
