Barbara Hepworth was an English abstract sculptor who's widely considered one of the mid-20th century's most impactful sculptors.

 

Her work epitomizes the modernism style, raising her to an international prominence that was at the time rare for female English sculptors.

 

To celebrate Hepworth's art and career, Google created an animated Doodle in her honor on the anniversary of her 1939 move to St. Ives, a town on England's southern coast, where she would become a leading figure in the colony of artists who resided there.

 

"#OnThisDay in 1938 she moved to St Ives, a location of great inspiration for her and where her studio still stands," Google's Arts & Culture account tweeted on Tuesday.
