Barbara Hepworth (1903-1975) was a renowned British sculptor known for her expansive works that often blend abstract forms with organic shapes. She was a pioneer of modern sculpture, emphasizing the relationship between space, form, and the surrounding environment. Hepworth used materials like stone, wood, and bronze to create pieces that evoke harmony and balance, reflecting her interest in nature and human experience.
