Hepworth

Barbara Hepworth, Courtauld Gallery

We went to see Hepworth in Colour a couple of weeks ago at the Courtauld Gallery. I was not truly familiar with her work but these were stunning pieces, abstractly illustrating many of the principles of composition and design that I have been discussing with my u3a photography group. Highly recommended if you’re in or near London. When we were finished we emerged into the Courtauld’s permanent collection and a seriously sumptuous collection of some marvelous and familiar Impressionist works.

Staircase and Skylight

Somerset House, London

Last year we didn’t quite make it to London Photo. It was our last day in London so we would only have had about an hour and the tickets were quite dear. This year, the school procured tickets for us and I think I saw almost everything, including the architecture.
