What technique did Barbara Hepworth use?
1 Answer
The technique that Barbara Hepworth most often used was direct carving. Pioneered by sculptor Constantin Brâncuși during the early 20th century, this process involves using tools to shape the materials and allowing shapes to emerge naturally. It differs from more traditional forms of carved sculpture, which involve the use of plaster or clay models. On 1stDibs, explore a range of Barbara Hepworth art.
