Event map
Hepworth in Yorkshire will focus on Hepworth’s early years growing up in Wakefield, exhibiting publicly for the first time family photographs and images of Hepworth’s formative years.
About
Early drawings, paintings and sculpture, which show Hepworth’s natural gifts in these areas, will also be on display. During this time Hepworth was engaging with an academic figurative style that she would soon depart from to find her own artistic voice. The display also features newspaper articles and photography that document her early successes.
