Three Obliques (Walk In)

Three Obliques (Walk In) in Cardiff, May 2021
- ... that Barbara Hepworth instructed people to "walk in" to her sculptures? Source: "In 1962 Hepworth gave an interview to The Studio magazine in which she remarked on her interest in the abstract form and its potential appeal to viewers: 'It is easy now to communicate with people through abstraction, and particularly so in sculpture since the whole body reacts to its presence...people become themselves a living part of the work'. It is perhaps this idea which prompted her to use part of her work's titles to invite people to 'Walk In' or 'Walk Through'" ([https://www.sothebys.com/en/auctions/ecatalogue/2015/beyond-limits-l15010/lot.13.html Sotheby's - Beyond Limits: The Landscape of British Sculpture 1950-2015 - Lot 13 Dame Barbara Hepworth DBE THREE OBLIQUES (WALK IN))

Interesting sculpture, on good sources, no copyvio obvious. I'd prefer to have the title she gave the piece in full. The image is licensed, but I believe the lead image shows better that there are three. In the article, I'd add dimensions to the infobox. --Gerda Arendt (talk) 20:46, 1 June 2021 (UTC)
- I think if we use the full title it will disrupt the hook somewhat. Thanks for the well informed review though :) No Swan So Fine (talk) 20:27, 3 June 2021 (UTC)
As you wish, then. But how about the other image? (Also: you may want to read the essay linked on top of User:Drmies, about indenting. I did this for you.) --Gerda Arendt (talk) 20:55, 3 June 2021 (UTC)
- Yes, the other image is better! Thanks for fixing my indenting, as well. No Swan So Fine (talk) 17:42, 5 June 2021 (UTC)
