Amazing. Barbara's Great Nephew here, from Cornwall. She passed away before my time but my mum remembers her well. Wish I had the opportunity to meet her! Inspirational.
Exceptionnel . j'aime la voir travailler la matière avec une volupté évidente à l'ombres des palmiers . J'aime le chat sur le socle & le dialogue des sculptures "percées" avec le clocher . BRAVO
That is not the voice of Cecil Day Lewis narrating, though that is what the BFI's Explore website says. The BFI says words were by Jacquetta Hawkes. I wonder whether the credits have been swopped round by mistake, so that the words were written by Lewis and the narration spoken by Hawkes.
To me, Barbara's works are like symbols, ciphers from a place of deeper, subtler meaning. The feelings they invoke are ineffable, maybe too delicate to verbalise.

The qualities of the sculpture, narration, camera work and music are entirely of their time and authentic. A great little film.
i cannot thank you enough for this incredible posting of brilliance

This sounds like a children's story!
is making sculptures as scary as this music would make you think ????

Great score. Did Rainier compose that for the film or was it an existing piece?
That is not Cecil Day Lewis narrating. It's probably Jacquetta Hawkes.
whats the name of the first sculpture?

She didn’t use any machines ? Everything by hand ?

Back before safety goggles, I'd assume
Eye protection?
The music is a distraction the BH sculptre the narrative and sounds of the sea would be enough.
Much better muted.
Woah, Barbara! No eye protection?
Great film. Terrible music!
Google celebration has her skin tone very very dark. Why can't they just portray her as white.
not wearing eye protection...and Cornwall is nothing like this anymore...
fordlandau Have you seen Bait?
horrible music that distracts for awesome talent and executiion.
The music complements Hepworth's work admirably.
Curiously cold and dead work.
