Sculpture with Colour (Oval Form) Pale Blue and Red (1943) has been saved for the nation, this week on the Post we have Barbara Hepworth (1903-75). The wooden carving with rare use of colour marked a breakthrough at a difficult point in her life when she was dealing with the demands of a young family compounded by limited time, money, and materials due to the war. It will now be on permanent display at The Hepworth in Wakefield, where she was born and grew up.
