A pictorial record of the sculptor Barbara Hepworth's life, work and writings over 40 years, from childhood to her marriages to the sculptor John Skeaping and to Ben Nicholson, and from figuration through geometric and organic abstraction to the grandeur of her large-scale, post-war work.

Barbara Hepworth's work and ideas are illuminated in her own lucid and eloquent words in this first collection of her writings and conversations.

Ben Nicholson (1894-1982) was one of the greatest British artists of the twentieth century, first coming to international prominence with his famous 'white reliefs' of the 1930s. A pioneer of abstract art in Britain, he played a significant role in the European avantgarde, forming close links with Picasso, Braque, Arp, Mondrian and others.
