Modernism, abstraction and spirituality : Barbara Hepworth and Hilma af Klint

Research output: Chapter in Book / Conference PaperChapter

Abstract

This chapter discusses the relationship between abstraction and spirituality in the sculpture and writings of Hepworth, with some comparisons to the life and work of the Swedish painter Hilma af Klint (1862-1944). As this chapter testifies, the connections between the history of abstract art, spirituality and gender are complex and still only partially understood.
