Dame Barbara Hepworth, British 1903-1975- "Small Sun" (BH489); polished bronze, conceived in 1969 and cast in an edition of nine plus the artist`s proof, this example numbered 1/9 on the base, height 33cm including base. Provenance: Purchased directly from the artist in 1974 Literature: Alan Bowness, ed., The Complete Sculpture of Barbara Hepworth 1960-69, London, 1971, no. 489. Barbara Hepworth: Drawings from a Sculptor`s Landscape, London, 1966 Note: Barbara Hepworth used bronze in the last twenty years of her life, preferring to use stone in her previous works. She began to re-interpret forms in bronze that had originally been carved finding that the new material gave new aspects to certain themes. During The Second World War Hepworth was evacuated to St. Ives, Cornwall where she took up permanent residence in 1950 and purchased her Trewyn studio where she remained for the rest of her life. She was greatly influenced by the natural beauty and elements of the Cornish landscape and transposed this organic inspiration into her work. Hepworth stated that `A sculptor`s landscape is one of ever-changing space and light where forms reveal themselves in new aspects as the sun rises and sets, and the moon comes up. It is a primitive world; but a world of infinite subtle meaning.` In `Small Sun` the literal translation of the sun as subject matter is obvious again taking inspiration from the forms presented by nature. Also present is awareness from Hepworth of the natural effects of the elements of the sun, such as the ever changing appearance of the landscape as the sun rises and sets creating different shadows on the land; so this effect is translated into the sculpture as the bronze surface changes hues within differing lights and times of day. Juxtaposition is created between the curved nature of the bronze form and the tort tension provided by the crossing strings over the front of the sculpture. The contrast is further highlighted by the polished nature of the bronze and the natural appearance of the string adhering to the organic nature of material that was fundamentally important to Hepworth throughout her career.
