This a presentation copy from Barbara Hepworth to her friend, the poet, translator and critic Walter Strachan, with a warm inscription to the title page in black ink: "For Walter Strachan , with love , Barbara - St. Ives." The artist and sculptor Barbara Hepworth (1903-1975) was one of Britain's best loved artists. Residing for most of her life in St. Ives with her husband Ben Nicholson, she fought her way into the then male-dominated art world of the RCA, and is best remembered today for her modernist and abstract sculptures, with pieces commissioned for the Festival of Britain and numerous other public spaces worldwide. She maintained a close, and friendly rivalry with the artist Henry Moore for the majority of her life. Walter John Strachan (1903 -1994) moved in many artistic circles, and wrote several pieces on art and sculpture, with a particular focus on French Art and the work of his good friend Henry Moore. Hepworth's work also appears in Strachan's 1984 publication 'Open Air Sculpture in Britain: a Comprehensive Guide'. The present publication showcases all of the artworks which Hepworth produced during a particularly prolific time in her career, between 1960 and 1970, with 227 works sculpted during that ten year period. It contains 247 black and white illustrations, and sixteen in colour, and opens with a series of fascinating conversations between Hepworth and the editor, Alan Bowness, reader in the History of Art at the Courtauld Institute. "when you're making a sculpture you're making an image, a fetish, something which alters human behaviour and movement", she says in one, "I dream of things rising from the ground." A lovely association copy. More images available on request. Ashton Rare Books welcomes direct contact. Inscribed by Illustrator(s).
