Summary: <p>Barbara Hepworth is one of the greatest artists to ever come out of the UK.</p> <p>Achieving monumental heights of fame and success during her life, she developed a sculptural language that makes her work not only timeless but so instantly recognisable as her own.</p> <p>This week I take you on a whistle-stop tour of her life and work during her time living and working in her iconic studio and gardens in St.Ives!!</p> <p>I talk you through Hepworth’s practice, my experience while visiting her studio in St Ives, August 2021; and why I think it’s important to visit where an artist works to truly help understand what makes them tick as a creator.</p> <p>The studio was an experience which will stay with me forever and somewhere I cannot recommend enough should you find yourself in Cornwall and wondering how to spend a day!!</p> <p>I hope you enjoy it!</p> <p>Jo</p> <p>Instagram:@josarthistory</p> <p><strong>Some links!</strong></p> <p>Hepworth Estate: <a href="https://barbarahepworth.org.uk/st-ives/">https://barbarahepworth.org.uk/st-ives/</a></p> <p>Hepworth St Ives: <a href="https://www.tate.org.uk/visit/tate-st-ives/barbara-hepworth-museum-and-sculpture-garden">https://www.tate.org.uk/visit/tate-st-ives/barbara-hepworth-museum-and-sculpture-garden</a></p> <p>Hepworth Wakefield: <a href="https://hepworthwakefield.org/">https://hepworthwakefield.org/</a></p> <p>New Art Centre: <a href="https://www.sculpture.uk.com/barbara-hepworth">https://www.sculpture.uk.com/barbara-hepworth</a></p> <p>Wiki: <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Barbara_Hepworth">https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Barbara_Hepworth</a></p> <p>Tate: <a href="https://www.tate.org.uk/art/artists/dame-barbara-hepworth-1274">https://www.tate.org.uk/art/artists/dame-barbara-hepworth-1274</a></p> <p>My blog on the Hepworth Garden and Studio: <a href="https://www.josarthistory.com/post/down-the-rabbit-hole-barbara-hepworth-museum-and-sculpture-garden-st-ives">https://www.josarthistory.com/post/down-the-rabbit-hole-barbara-hepworth-museum-and-sculpture-garden-st-ives</a></p> <p>VIDEO ON THE SCULPTURE GARDEN: <a href="https://www.tate.org.uk/art/artists/dame-barbara-hepworth-1274/barbara-hepworth-sculpture-garden">https://www.tate.org.uk/art/artists/dame-barbara-hepworth-1274/barbara-hepworth-sculpture-garden</a></p> --- Send in a voice message: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/jos-art-history-podcast/message
