Barbara Hepworth
Barbara Hepworth was a British artist who did much for the abstract sculptural movements in Britain. I am attracted to her work, because it is very organic looking, but still has hints of formal structure and geometric form. Much of what she does turns out looking like a fruit or a part of a plant or a cross-section of a living thing. Her work interests me, because it has this sort of creepy alien feel to it. There is structure to it that is distinct of something that has been formed deliberately outside of nature, but it seems as if it is from a completely different, out of this world type of culture. Almost as if aliens had left what primitive art they had left on our planet. That primitive art would be Barbara Hepworth’s collection.
