Barbara Hepworth
Forms (Brown, Grey and White), 1941
Reproduction gicl̩ee print on textured watercolour paper
During the Second World War, Hepworth could only draw at night and make a few plaster maquettes as her days were filled with running a nursery school, double-cropping a small garden for food, and trying to feed and protect her children. Drawings like Forms (Brown, Grey and White) (1941) allowed her to continue thinking about forms in space when she was unable to make physical objects. The crystalline structures relate to stringed sculptures that Hepworth had started making in 1939 and reflected her interest in science.
