Abstract Art - Barbara Hepworth

This structure was made my Barbara Hepworth. It is made out of stone and is abstract because the shape of the structure is not a definite shape or picture, it is unsure of what it is. The curves of the openings let the eye move throughout the structure, and the positive and negative space is also very interesting. Many of Hepworth's structures seem to resemble or stem from human forms, so that could be the case with this structure. The abstractness of this structure lets the mind think that this could possibly resemble a face, but we are unsure because it is abstract.
