 The
Life and Work of
Barbara Hepworth
by Jayne Woodhouse
Published by Heinemann Library
Key Stage 1
Barbara
Hepworth is one of the best known British sculptors. In the 1930s,
together with Henry Moore and Ben Nicholson, she was part of a
group exploring experimental forms and shapes in their sculpture.
At a time when it
was rare for a woman to become a sculptor, she was both successful
and influential and was eventually awarded the honour by the Queen
of becoming a Dame.
This new book from
the Heinemann Library is written for the youngest children, 5
to 7 year olds. The simple writing style makes the story of Barbara
Hepworth's life and work easy to understand.
The large colour pictures
of her sculpture should appeal to children of this age group.
Perhaps they will appreciate the organic serene shapes of her
work even more than some older people because they have no preconceptions
to hamper them.
