In August: From Stone to Surgery: Barbara Hepworth in the O.R.
Famous for her organic abstract sculptures, finding marble in short supply at the end of the 1940s, British artist Barbara Hepworth took her sketchpad into a hospital operating room. One of the Beaverbrook Art Gallery’s often overlooked modern masterpieces is a dramatic painting by the artist that channels faith in medicine through a scene of compassion, virtue, delicacy and simple heroics.
