Image of Spring (Plaster) 1966 (plaster with strings) by Hepworth, Barbara (1903-75)

Spring (Plaster) 1966 (plaster with strings)

Image description: Spring was cast from an elmwood carving, Oval Form with Strings and Colour, that Hepworth had completed in 1965. Its rounded egg-like form is juxtaposed by the tense elements of the strings that cut through the centre. This contrast between hard and soft, curves and lines, solids and voids is a quintessential aspect of Hepworth’s abstraction. A bronze version was cast from this plaster with a green-blue patina on the interior, while this work has a white interior that may have been smoothed down after casting.
