We try to do something different at least one day every weekand last week we visited the Modern Two Gallery in Edinburgh to see the Barbara Hepworth exhibition . It’s on until the 2nd of October, we enjoyed it so much we might even go to see it again!
It’s all so tactile and huggable, but obviously you aren’t allowed to touch anything.
She also did traditional watercolours in her earlier years as you can see below.
As you can see from the photo below of her standing beside one of her works, some of it is absolutely enormous, monumental I suppose you might say.
Anyway, Jack was taking the photos on this visit and somehow missed some of my favourites, so I think we definitely will be making a return visit. I am just in awe of her as she managed to work at the same time as looking after her four small children. After she had one son, then she had triplets with her second husband, the artist Ben Nicholson, two girls and another boy!
Sadly she died in a fire at her studio in Cornwall. You can read about her life here.
Lovely pictures – I’m so jealous of you being able to visit and revisit this one!!
kaggsysbookishramblings,
We are lucky to be fairly close to Edinburgh, which has so many great galleries!
