Barbara Hepworth, born in Wakefield, UK 1903-1975
It was Barbara Hepworth "who introduced into England the idea of piercing the
solid mass of sculpture with a "hole," making the object more transparent...
Paradoxically, the
sculpture's hollow interior becomes more important than the enveloping bronze.
As the viewer's eye is drawn inside the sculpture, the openings invite the
surrounding landscape to become part of the artwork."
Valerie Fletcher, A Garden for Art, 1998.
