The Art of Barbara Hepworth: Twentieth Century Yorkshire modern sculpture artist [VHS, 2003]

"Barbara Hepworth is a major British artist of the twentieth century. 'The Art of Barbara Hepworth' reveals the beauty and the power of her sculptures, and the ideas which motivated her throughout her creative life. Extensive exhibitions at Tate St Ives and Yorkshire Sculpture Park, and the permanent display at the Barbara Hepworth Museum, provide sumptuous settings for many of the works included in this film. Other sculptures have been specially filmed in the locations for which they were made. This revealing and complex exploration of Barbara Hepworth's work features her naturalistic carvings of the 1920s and increasingly abstract sculptures of the 1930s, the ambitious post-war works in wood, stone and bronze, her monumental public commissions and the strikingly diverse creations of her final years. The soundtrack of the film is taken entirely from the artist's own words, drawn from interviews ond letters, and newly recorded by Gina McKee." Captured from VHS, uploaded for archival purposes.
